An Anglo-Australian talking about "football" usually means Australian Rules football. Historically in Australia soccer was viewed as a game for middle-European immigrants, sometimes derisively nicknamed "wogball", although it's gradually become more mainstream. * The day after I got back from Sydney, Peter called everybody in the office together for an imp...

Friday reminded me why it is that I hate Sydney summers. Sydney doesn't get any hotter than Melbourne, but it's a horribly muggy kind of heat. I was already getting sweaty by the time I got to the train station, and the forecast looked ugly: thirty-eight degrees, ninety-eight percent humidity. I was glad to get into the cooler air of the conference centre....

Becky looked up from where she sat in the corner of the pub, out of the way of everyone and able to see whoever walked in. The paper was spread out in front of her, giving her something to do as she waited, but she wasn't really taking the articles in. A half-empty vodka, lemon and lime sat sweating on the TV guide, and she lazily traced a finger through the...

Word of warning: this is a slow-moving talky introspective story. Not all the chapters have sex in them. If you like stories where people are shagging by the fifth paragraph, this isn't going to meet your needs. * By the time I found the place I was pretty sure going to the work Christmas party had been a bad idea. If there's one thing worse than me alone...
DOWN THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD This is the first story in a new series. I've set it in the late eighties in the seaside resort town of Lorne. I've deliberately injected some of the unique Australian sayings and lingo into it so apologies to those who don't speak it. I'll provide a brief translation at the end of the story. I'm hoping to drag this one out a bit l...
"That was a lot better than the time we tried to kiss as kids, having heard that it was supposed to be good." "And we didn't know what 'good' was supposed to be. Too young, or we didn't try hard enough, should have tried a few years later." "But we didn't, when we started kissing boys and learned that it was." "Still is." "For sure, but now tell me why y...
Thanks for all the great feedback on my last chapter. This one's for David, for being the best editor any girl could ask for. ------------------ We didn't have our next class together, which was Drama for me, but we did have Art together last. I had been let out of Drama early, so once I got to Art I was able to have the pick of the bench I wanted, whic...
