Not Just The Wife Of The General Manager

Not Just the Wife of the General Manager is a rollicking memoir of one woman’s life on outback cattle stations, and an homage to the many unsung women like her. It was the 1980s and Sally was in her mid 20s when she returned from a backpacking sojourn and hitchhiked to Australia’s far north. But instead of moving back to Canberra as planned, she stayed. After marrying a cattle station manager, Sally lived and worked with him on various stations until she was 50, ingraining herself into the lives of the characters who inhabited these isolated places. With wit and sass, Sally tells the story of how she was so much more than just a wife of a station manager (despite what some of the top end blokes thought). Among other things, she was a nurse (dealing with local accidents, assisting the Flying Doctor service and making emergency 400 km round trips through the outback with sick children), a mother (bringing up several children, not all her own), a travel agent, a social secretary, a host and an organiser (including of Kerry Packer’s New Year’s Eve parties). This is a story about adventure, resilience, the unexpected journeys we need to go on to find ourselves, and having the courage to do something for yourself. In Sally's words: 'Life’s like that, fellas. You may spend a lifetime trying to find yourself but, at the end of the day, you've been there all along.'

Tan Hoanh is a twenty-two-year-old live interpreter, participating in an important international conference is not easy. There are a lot of red-eyed people in the back, there aren't many who need talent and ability like her. So, even red eyes can't do anything. As a direct interpreter who often has a fixed partner, Tan Hoanh works almost all of them with Dien Tinh. Tian Jing graduated from a prestigious university, has experience, and has been in this position for nearly thirty years, and has a bit of reputation. But today, Tian Jing suddenly had a problem, old Sun temporarily arranged for another girl to take over, Laurel. Although it was the first time working together, the two also considered a successful cooperation. "Tan Hoanh, everyone in the company arranged to come to K to sing in the evening, let's go together?" Laurel was young, her small face was fresh and beautiful. After putting away his things, he quickly dragged Tan Hoanh to go with him. K? Never been there? Smile politely, gracefully refuse, "Everyone go, I have some work tonight."
