title: Reflections on 18 months in a remote aboriginal practice.
abstract: This article aims to address some issues glossed over by the literature on Aboriginal health. An attempt is made to balance the joys and pitfalls of practising in such a setting. I hope doctors considering working in the bush will find it encouraging and informative.
