An endearing tale of a town and it's people over a couple of generations. From sleepy fishing village to 'yippiedom' assailed by corrupt (and not so corrupt) property developers.

The heart of the story is the life of a single man as he struggles to keep himself anchored in changing times. It's the story of his relationships - with his mother (and father), with his friends and neighbours, but most importantly, with the sea.

A great read - one that will make you laugh and love and think. ( )

Beautifully written story with believable and endearing characters who shine off the page. Ron and his elderly mother, the lovable Min, are true characters of the Australian countryside, with a love of place and a sinple but true lifestyle. Their profound effect on the other characters in the story, including, Craig and Liz, and the idiosyncratic Noel and Darren, is truly believable. A beautiful story. ( )
