Being a bush nurse was a 24 hour a day seven days a week job. Most of the babies born in the area were born at the centre. But the sister from Redpa could often be called out at night to attend a patient as far away as Temma. Some of the bush nurses who lived at Redpa were; Sisters Black, Tray, Knight, Burnley, Wallace, Iles, Close, Meredith, Findlay and McKenzie.
