ADVENTUROUS NURSES FOR DARWIN

Little Darwin now has an original copy of the Sydney Morning Herald for June 12,1920. While browsing through it we came across an advertisement for two nurses for the government hospital in Darwin. The salary was 170 pound ($340) a year with food, light ( a kero lamp ?) and quarters provided. Applicants needed certificates in midwifery and general nursing . A first class fare was provided for travel to Darwin and half salary while in transit .
