	Welch took up his duties at Cloncurry on 15 May 1928 and made his first flight two days later in a single engine, fabric covered, cabin bi-plane capable of carrying a pilot and four passengers at a cruising speed of just under 80 miles per hour. Welch and the pilot flew from Cloncurry to Julia Creek, (approximately 100 kilometres) to attend to two patients at the Julia Creek Bush Nursing Home, one of whom had attempted suicide by trying to cut his own throat. Welch landed nearby, walked to the nursing home and successfully performed two minor operations.

	Typical entries from the doctor’s diary suggest that it was not uncommon for him to “make a 300km flight before breakfast, perform an operation then be back to base by lunchtime, flying at night only on urgent cases, landing in paddocks and rough clearings.”<ref>Indriess I (1932), p24.</ref>		Typical entries from the doctor’s diary suggest that it was not uncommon for him to “make a 300km flight before breakfast, perform an operation then be back to base by lunchtime, flying at night only on urgent cases, landing in paddocks and rough clearings.”<ref>Indriess I (1932), p24.</ref>

	In April, 1929… an 80-month-old baby on Koolatah Station, on Cape York Peninsula, was suffering from acute gastro-enteritis. The call for help was carried eighty miles by an Aboriginal stockman splashing through flooded country, then relayed by station telephones until it reached Normanton and was passed on to Cloncurry. Obviously the case was urgent and [the pilot] flew the Victory to Normanton through low clouds and rain… They picked up the stockman and flew north to Koolatah… The clouds grew thicker and lower and the rain heavier until he was barely skimming the treetops… Eventually he sighted the hastily cleared airstrip and landed safely. Dr Welch decided to take the mother and baby back to Cloncurry… and the baby recovered in hospital.<ref>Page M op cit pp84–85.</ref>		In April, 1929… an 80-month-old baby on Koolatah Station, on Cape York Peninsula, was suffering from acute gastro-enteritis.
