Land's Edge

Then it's just bubbles; silence and a corona of bubbies that billows blue about my head. I gaze about dreamily until I understand. I am underneath the upturned boat with thirty kilo line floating around my legs and I am drowning. Desite our outback mythology, Australians are costal people and it's hard to think of a more thorougly costal writer than Tim Warner. In his novels for adults and children the the sea is always luminously present. The beach is Winton Territory.
