TIL... for someone like me who's never been to Australia and doesn't know much about its geography, that's a pretty crazy story!
And it turns out Connie Sue is still out there, running desert tours except not now because of lingering Covid restrictions.
> Connie's work background started with 10 years of general nursing and midwifery, 14 years as a violinist in the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and has studied Computer Systems Engineering at TAFE part-time.
Interesting people!
