Druitt as a teenager. Both were and still are very fine places full of good people and bad, like anywhere else. I left, fled actually, very young. I have been back only once, to visit ghosts.

In her Prius or some such vehicle (heaven forbid that she gets the train as do many thousands of others, the actual wage slaves) she has apparently missed the chance of her lifetime. <br /><br />Why, if she merely looked out her window on the way out west – she wouldn’t even have to stare – she could have seen some of the African refugees which, trendy legend has it were ‘in the queue’. She would have definitely seen some of those ‘tradies’ vehicles which her soul-mate Don Watson wants to run over and I think it is astounding that some of those McMansions that David Williamson hates so much weren’t subject of part of her article.
