Sunday Night

Whilst we were in Congo a film crew from Channel 7 Australia came to record a story onboard. They followed us, a surgeon - AJ Collins - and a nurse - Rinnah Fry - for a week. Anyway, the show finally went to air on the Sunday Night program on 14 Dec 14 - our 18th wedding anniversary. Neither of us ever imagined that we would be living and working as unpaid volunteers on a hospital ship with our three kids when we tied the knot 18 years ago. The story can still be watched online at:
