Students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange and Wagga Wagga recently returned from a remote cattle station where they gained firsthand experience in their chosen profession. A group of 15 fourth year Bachelor of Pharmacy  students set off from Wagga Wagga at 6am on April 15 along with lecturers Professor Patrick Ball and Ms Hana Morrissey. The group met Mr John Nolan from CSU’s Centre for Indigenous Studies for a first cultural briefing over lunch in Dubbo before continuing their journey.  They travelled a total of 830 kilometers to Moglia Station, nine kilometres north east of Goodooga, NSW, where they met with station owner Mr Michael Anderson and his wife Ms Jutta Anderson. Mr Anderson (Nyoongar Ghurradjong Murri Ghillar) is the leader of the Euahlayi tribe, a trained lawyer and Aboriginal rights campaigner. “The students had firsthand experience of the Aboriginal cultural, the rural Australian way of living and the remote health system pros and cons,” said Professor Ball. “The students visited local health facilities at Walgett, Collarenebri and Brewarrina and shared barbecue lunches with Aboriginal communities from Weimoringle and Goodooga. The information passed from the community elders to students was priceless.”
