| Description : |
The Bush Church Aid Society was founded in Sydney in 1919. 'Missioners' trained in Sydney and Melbourne travelled to remote rural locations around Australia, and from 1922 were joined by bush nursing sisters, who worked to found hospitals and hostels in the outback of New South Wales and South Australia. The Society opened a hospital at Ceduna in 1937, which they ran until 1968. In 1928 an 'aeroplane mission' was formed to further the work of the group. |
