The twelve young graduate nurses were waiting eagerly to hear what glamorous jobs were to be allotted to them under the Farflung Nursing Association of the Pacific Health Organisation. Would it be specialling a Rajay in Hyderabad, nursing on some dreamy coral island in the South Seas, being the only woman among eighty men on a whaling island? None of them was more eager than Charlotte Bow - and to say that she was appalled to learn of the job in store for her was putting it mildly! Matron - nothing wrong with that! - but Matron at Binkabunkacarrawirra warrawillipillimundi, in the heart of the Australian Northern Territory! No hospital to speak of, nothing but aboriginals - and Brother SEb, she was told. Brother Seb? A monk, presumably, or a friar, or an abbot. But Charlotte arrived in Binka to find it even worse than she had imagined, and Brother Seb very far from being a friar.
