Blue Heelers

A much loved elderly woman dies while under the care of Doc Bourke, an old style country doctor who makes house calls, sets broken legs in paddocks and accepts cuts of meat in lieu of payment.

Jo gets herself into trouble with Tom and Ben has his hands full cramming for the Sergeant's exam.

The new sergeant, Tess Gallagher, starts work in Mt. Thomas. Ben, in particular, doesn't find it easy dealing with her presence as she did take the job that he feels should be his.
