flying doctors seizoen 1 tom en lizdrever

Tom Callaghan, a young, ambitious city doctor, joins the Royal Fling
Doctor Service on missions to the homesteads, stock stations and mining
camps of outback Australia. His arrival at remote Coopers Crossing
coincides with the return to the district of Beth Drever, an Australian
who married an American soldier, and her daughter Liz, a New York
advertising photographer. Beth has returned to her home country to make
crucial decisions about her future and that of the family homestead and
sheep station, Corindabella. Liz, a witty and sophisticated New Yorker
- the "golden spitfire" - believes her mother’s home country ...
parched and sweltering outback Australia ... is hell on earth.
Callaghan teams with Doctor Harry Sinclair, a veteran practitioner with
the RFDS, who is in ill-health, close to retirement which is not
welcomed by the folk at Coopers Crossing. They hold the old doctor in
esteem and affection. Not so with Callaghan. The people out-back say
the city doctor is too young, inexperienced, too outspoken and too
smart ever to become one of them. Their minds are set when
Callaghan’s first patient dies. It is in this setting - alien to
them both - that the dedicated Australian Doctor, Callaghan, and the
driving American career woman, Liz Drever, become irresistibly drawn
together ... surviving a spectacular introduction at an RFDS emergency
landing. Coopers Crossing is populated with the colourful characters
who adorn Australia’s outback ... their loyalties tested at every
turn of the story as Callaghan and Sinclair go about their work, often
perilously, of healing ... and protecting the RFDS base itself from
political closure. For Coopers Crossing is home to the men and women of
the Royal Flying Doctors Service. Callaghan, Sinclair, Nurse Kate
Wellings and Andy McGregor, the pilot who will fly over, under or
around any weather to make a house call. For Callaghan and Liz, it
determines their lives apart ... or together.
