Description: From frontier remedies along the Murrumbidgee to the gleaming corridors of a modern regional health hub, this sweeping history traces the remarkable evolution of Wagga Wagga Base Hospital across more than 150 years. Follow the doctors, nurses, patients, and community champions who built a bush infirmary into one of inland New South Wales' most vital medical institutions, weathering depressions, world wars, and sweeping medical revolutions along the way. Rich in local detail and human stories, this is both a tribute to the people who cared and a chronicle of how healthcare itself transformed on the Australian frontier. A must-read for anyone drawn to regional history, medical heritage, or the enduring spirit of country communities.
