    Where does the wind take us?

    Hi!
    DH and I are currently living in Canberra, where my family is, and where i only came back to to finish my study.
    But now we are ready to move on.
    I am a RN and midwife, with an interest in rural and emerency work. I want to work in a place where i can do everything, where i can work as in antenatal, labour and birth, and postnatal, in hope to give my women some continuinty of care, but i dont want to let go of my nursing either, so along with that throw in a little bit of A&E and general care and i'll be in heaven!!
    The smaller the hosptial the better, ideally 35 beds...but i only know of 1 35 bed hosptial with maternity which is in Narrandera - where DH is from and we arent sure we want to move back there.. the next smallest hospital ive been about to find with maternity is 48 beds at Inverell. why did they get rid of all these small maternity departments...
    so far i have only limited my search to nsw, just cause i think it would be easier to start...but thats not to say we have ruled out other states.
    DH is a jack of all trades, is willing to give everything ago and isnt afraid to try. He does like driving trucks though (although doesnt want to be a truck driver away on the road for days).
    basically what i'm asking, is any suggestions?? anyone know of a hosptail that fits my description?? any really nice little towns??
    another thing on our list is the local pub has to have a decent counter meal. and calton and pure blonde on tap =P although hopefully the blonde on tap wont be needed if i get UTD
    please throw any suggestions our way, before we move there we will obviously suss out the place and spend some time there. but i dont seem to really be getting far with just internet searches.

    THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!

    Hi everyone!
    Just bumping this as the universe has decided its time for us to go. DH left his current job and it's time for us to settle somewhere else.

    so please people help me narrow down our search!!!

    i'm not as fussy now =P simply the smaller the town the better, has to have a pub with a counter meal and a pool table. and a hospital i can work as a midwife in.

    Please help us!!!
