Very early on we decided on a dirty weekend at a coastal town not far south of Sydney. The excuse was a Jazz Convention, held there every year. We arrived on Friday evening...

She knew the postman; he was a sidesman at the church, a friend of her fathers and the font of much of the local gossip. "Morning Jane. I see that Jack has received his call-up papers.
