"José Petrick, OAM (nee Tizard), born in Bournemouth, England, trained as a secretary, then a nurse. She came to Australia on a working holiday in 1950. Later she became a governess on MacDonald Downs Station, 300 km north-east of Alice Springs. José married Martyn Petrick from nearly Mt Swan Station in 1952. In 1960 José and Martyn, with her two small children, Suzette and Grant, moved to Neutral Junction Station, Barrow Creek, where José ran the health care centre for 100 Aboriginal people and twenty European people. Following Martyn's death in 1974, José moved to Alice Springs and became a journalist with the Centralian Advocate. ... In 2000 Jose was awarded the OAM and carried the Olympic torch."--Back cover.
