Interview with Holly Thom, Nurse turned business owner from Surat, Outback Queensland.
Today we are in Outback Queensland with our friend Holly Thom who we met recently on our trip to the Maranoa region. Holly was raised in the local pub which is also the local hotel, many people may not realise these are often the same place in country towns across Australia. As a teenager Holly moved to the coast to study and gained a Diploma of Nursing at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital where she graduated and went on to work in Acute Surgical and Rehabilitation for 2 years. However, the country was calling Holly back and aged 23 she became a business owner, owning part of the New Royal Hotel and motel, the local Timber Crate café and also the Surat Cabin and Caravan Park, which both Maxi and I now know are the heart of the community. Holly has a passion for people as we saw for ourselves so enjoy this chat with Holly and hear her amazing story and a glimpse into what life is like in the country.
