From the Author
life and future were thrown into turmoil by the un-characteristic actions
of my normally safe thinking father, who had suddenly become hell-bent on
dragging his family to the other side of the world - Australia, a land of
constant sunshine, seemingly endless horizons, tanned nubile females,
crystal white sands and rolling surf, a land where anything and everything
seemed possible, a place that was to change my outlook on life for ever.
Having settled into my new life with great relish, and fast approaching the
end of our third year in Oz, my mother finally insisted the family return
to the U.K. (much to my father's consternation). What I, nor anybody else
could have foreseen, was the length of time that was to pass before my wish
to return became a reality.
All of life's events had in a strange way led me full circle to this
eventuality, and on a bright summer's morning, I stood alone looking out
across the glorious blue waters of Sydney Harbour.
The sun was still as bright, the sky as blue, and the shimmering heat haze
as hypnotic as ever. Like beta particles, a thousand memories flooded my
jet-lagged brain as I drank in the spectacle of this watery idyll - I was
back in Oz and even I could hardly believe it, so with my notebook in hand,
a spring in my step, and a smile as wide as the Harbour Bridge - I set off
to re-discover OZ.
