I’m out in Broken Hill on placement for my third year of medical school. It’s a great adventure and time is moving very quickly. I’m meeting lots of people and learning a great deal of clinical medicine as well.

Here are some photos of the beautiful and unique red landscape of the Far West.

I caught up with Kia Handley on ABC Radio Newcastle on March 7 to chat about the joy of rural placements.
