He reminded himself that he was in Australia: Australia, where anything might happen. In England everything had been done before: quite often by ones own ancestors, over and over again. Two years ago, I watched a film based on the book by Joan Lindsay. A month ago, I watched a marvelous TV series adaptation of the same novel. Both versions were eerie, dark, atmospheric.
