Introduction

The enclosed stories and sketches are a collection of material, most of which has been printed in Australian newspapers and magazines over the last two years.

The people and places are real and these are their stories as they told them to me. The three short stories are based on real incidents, but names and facts have been substantially altered.

I thank my various editors for allowing me to reproduce this mater­ial and full acknowledgement is printed at the back of this book.
