Sidebottom's Reach: The Bandicoot Has Wings

By Peter Hunt

It's 1985 in Sidebottom's Reach, a country town in New South Wales on the Balmoral River, several hours on the bus from Sydney. The townsfolk live in a state of controlled disharmony, until a mysterious celestial body falls from the sky and throws the township into a tailspin. An accomplished solicitor plagued by self-doubt. A Mayor at war with the local press. A British publican struggling to make her heritage-listed hotel profitable. An idealistic waitress yearning to leave town. A former Wallaby searching for immortality. A nefarious youth on his last warning. To say nothing of an insurance scam, a parking fine, frontal-lobe damage, a scandalous affair, a handsome visitor from Houston, a lively town hall debate, Freddie Mercury and bandicoots. Plenty of bandicoots.
