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 kilometres 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.

But the tensions aren't just confined to the school and the local community.
