I took a 10 wk midwifery contract in Mt Isa, remote Queensland, after spending 14mths on the Gold Coast. It was a good opportunity to boost our cruising funds for our next sailing adventure to Darwin then on through Asia.
These are a few pictures of the hospital and ammenities.

About Me
- Cathy and Eric
- We met in 1971 and it was Eric's dream to build his own yacht and sail the world. This became a joint dream but it was not until 1994 that we were able to start building. "Erica" was launched in 2001 after 7yrs building her. It then took us 5 yrs to prepare her and ourselves before leaving NZ to see the world
