Joyce Seymour Fuller
No full textJoyce first came to the Northern Territory in 1937 on the SS Marella, to nurse at the Australian Inland Mission (AIM), Wimmera Home hostel at Victoria River Downs (VRD). The nursing staff worked as a team available 24 hours a day for each day of their term they shared professional and domestic tasks on ?a week and week about' basis - one would nurse, one would maintain the domestic arrangements. If a nurse became ill her partner would necessarily have to do the work of two. As part of the social welfare programme involved the staff in conducting informal ?church services' and entertaining single white men in a Christian environment such as discussion evenings, bridge parties and Christmas parties. She was also expected to send and receive telegrams using Morse code. In 1939, AIM decided to close Wimmera Home. It was left to Joyce to actually close the hospital in late 1939 and she returned to Melbourne for a short visit to her family. She returned to Darwin and married Charles Fuller on 20 January 1940 and back to Melbourne to have their daughter Patricia who was born on 7 November 1940.
Because of the Second World War mother and daughter did not return until 1945, while Charles stayed in Darwin and worked. Joyce and Charles established a bakery in Pine Creek in late 1946 and Joyce took over the task of bread production while Charles worked as a ganger managing road work teams. In 1947 they moved to Katherine to manage Ted Fuller's butcher shop for three years. Then in 1950 the family worked at Beswick Station (an Aboriginal training station) where Joyce returned to her nursing duties. Joyce's oral history gives an incredible insight to understanding of the conditions experienced by settlers and Aboriginals. In 1960 Joyce and Charles left the Territory and moved to South Australia.
