Sally Gare is twenty. She's just out of teachers' college, and has been sent to work at a two-teacher school more than 3000 kilometers from Perth. With the head teacher away, she starts out alone with a class of forty-five Aboriginal children, ranging in age from five years to thirteen. Thus begins the career of a remarkable teacher and a life-changing adventure in remote Australia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOutback Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the challenges and delights of teaching in outback schools in the 1950s and 1960s. Sally's interaction with her students and the local Aboriginal communities is affectionate and heart-warming, although it isn't without its misunderstandings. But the tensions aren't just confined to the school and the local community. Some of the characters with whom Sally shares her less than comfortable housing are as eccentric and as curiously interesting as any escapee to the outback. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Full of warmth, humor and kindness, this generous book reminds us how bush people have always found their own solutions to the problems isolation throws at them. But most importantly, and in the most personal way, it confirms how inspiring and passionate teachers can change lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Gare, Freda Marnie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1761065343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781761065347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sally Gare","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073229222143,"sku":"9781761065347","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1abaaf4-f2d2-477a-8a1f-65d2cc7a4502.jpg?v=1685446586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outback-teacher-sally-gare-9781761065347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
