Vast, scattered reminiscences on life and a Brisbane home
The piece blends memories from fifty years of schooling, tropical lore, and a critique of a modern Brisbane concrete house. It notes the Albion Hill site renamed Clayfield area, praises the new home as weather proof and wind resistant, and reflects on shifting place names and press focus as the century turns. It mentions public interest in northern mines and Chile as a current energy topic, with a hint of upcoming elections.
