167: Beth McRae and her extraordinary outback midwifery mission


Listen Later

Beth McRae has been a midwife for most of her life and she's delivered babies all over Australia. Ironically, she grew up on on a farm, in a very conservative household where the topic of cattle giving birth, let alone humans, was never spoken about. But years later, birth became became Beth's life. After more than 30 years working in hospitals, while in her 50s, she set out on an outback midwifery mission.  She packed up and moved to a remote Aboriginal community and embarked on a whole new adventure. It's a story she wrote a book about, so strap yourself in! This is her story.
