'... things are different in New South Wales, my father is saying. It's much bigger. It's drier. It's hotter. It's a lot hotter than this. We are standing at the long counter outside Flinders Street station. We are having a drink of orange juice from Mildura. It's a warm day just after the new year has started in January. It's the War. Across Prince's Bridge we can see the American sailors in their white gob-caps. Tonight they'll try to get into the Trocadero and dance with the Australian girls. I've been allowed to come in on the tram after school to Batman Avenue to meet Dad when he finishes work at the Bank in Collins Street. We'll probably go to Hearn's Hobbies later in Flinders Street to see the model cars and trains.' (Publication summary)
