As a young registered nurse, Josh Stafford took a six-week contract in the Far North Queensland town of Aurukun to make a bit of money. But by day 3 on the job, he'd fallen in love with it and knew this was the type of nursing he was meant to do. So while money took him there, it was the people, the diversity, the freedom and acuity that has kept him nursing in remote communities for close on 16 years. Today, Josh is the Director of Nursing for Lockhart River and Coen, a small, predominantly Indigenous community in northern Queensland with a population close to 700. We talk to Josh about his job as a nursing leader in a rural town, his early career nursing in big cities and how he spends his days off.

Today I spoke with Jayson Watkin, Owner / Operator of Cape York Experience, who bravely helped to rescue two military soldiers recently attacked by a crocodile near the Lockhart River.

This is the first episode of A Nurse Out Where.

From the Wandering Journo at Stories that Matter Studios this is The Streets of Your Town. The podcast that takes you on an audio journey through theatre of the mind highlighting a different slice of Australian life each episode. In this episode we go to the beautiful and remote Aboriginal township of Lockhart River, nestled overlooking the rainforest and Great Barrier Reef in far north Queensland's Cape York. We meet the principal of Lockhart State School, Siobhan Jackson, and find out what brought her to this isolated paradise at the tip of Australia. We also meet internationally renowned Aboriginal artist Patrick Butcher.

In this first episode of Griffith University's Remarkable Tales, Nance Haxton reports from Lockhart River on how solar power is transforming the town’s businesses, schools and homes. We hear from the people of this remote Aboriginal community in far north Queensland, how it could hold the key to cleaner and more reliable power supply for isolated indigenous communities throughout Australia and the Pacific. This tiny township nestled in bushland on Cape York Peninsula, 800 kilometres north of Cairns, is so isolated it's not even on the national power grid. As a result Lockhart River relies on expensive and dirty diesel fuel to keep the lights on, and power the town’s businesses and homes. Until now. And it all comes down to solar power.
