Sidebottom's Reach

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.
