It was a love of puzzles and problem solving that led Tan Thai down the path of engineering – and now he shares that lightbulb moment with everyone.
Mr Thai began a Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical) at Charles Darwin University (CDU) in 2021 after deciding against a career in health.
“When I started studying, I didn't really know what I was getting into, but I knew it was the right path for me to help people,” he said.
When Coober Pedy needed a paramedic, Rod Clements answered the call.
Little did he know, when most people could be retiring, he would be back at university studying to be a nurse to help the community again.
After falling in love with the outback and purchasing an underground home (dugout), Rod embraced the challenge of returning to study Nursing at Charles Darwin University to continue his outback lifestyle while still supporting the healthcare needs in the community.
