  Their practice covers an area twice the size of Western Europe; they fly tiny aircraft through dust storms and cyclones; they attend to everything from snake bites to heat stroke and from childbirth to brain surgery. They are the Flying Doctors , a small band of doctors and nurses who respond to round-the-clock calls from isolated stations and townships across the great Australian outback. This book tells the story of the Flying Doctor service and takes the reader behind the scenes of the television drama series. It deals with on- and off-screen romances and the hopes and failures of the actors and the characters they portray. The author has also written a biography of Pope John Paul II and a book about the television soap opera, Neighbours .
