    About this ebook

    SECURITY DOORS:
    Burra’s daughter Julia is having security doors fitted in her house, but her conversing with innuendos deeply concerns the company employee fitting the doors who demands security for himself...

    AUTO DIVING:
    Burra is talked into going to the hotel by his boys to watch a darts competition grand final and meets up with an acquaintance from years gone by. Burra is introduced to his old friend’s wife, and is then advised by his friend that he must leave but his wife is staying. The woman lets Burra in on some home truths and they leave the hotel for an intimate night on a river bank. Unfortunately with their thoughts on other things, her car is knocked out of gear and it rolls into the river leaving them both a precarious state. Luckily Burra’s boys had more than an inkling what was going on and saved Burra’s bacon although leaving him annoyed, frustrated, jealous, and finally embarrassed...

    NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH:
    Burra is hopeful that his new neighbours will add character to the street, but when he is advised that they are gay, his homophobic attitude demands that the Creek family led by him drive the new arrivals out of town. At first he has the family onside, but as time goes by, his family accept their new neighbours, which infuriates Burra even further, but the ultimate horror of all as far as Burra is concerned... they are the pub’s new owners. What Burra didn’t count on was their ability to retaliate to his idiotic scare tactics and with injuries and incidents occurring, Burra discovers that he must rely on other members of the gay community...

    Lindsay Laurie

    Born in the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne in 1946 and as a child I lived at Deer Park before my family moved to Longwarry in West Gippsland. I have one brother who was born at the Warragul Hospital in 1948. For forty-five years I lived at Longwarry, being educated at the Longwarry State School and the Drouin High School. I left school at sixteen and for thirty years worked in the dairy industry at Longwarry Milk Factory, employed by four company’s working as a butter maker, dryer operator and at times either a cream room or milk room operator. I never moved but the companies did. For four tomato seasons I worked for White Crow as an evaporator operator. Ill health with a muscle wasting disease forced me to retire eventually. My sporting interests have always been Australian Rules football, Cricket and playing Basketball. I played all my football and cricket for Longwarry, but played basketball for a number of clubs. My hobbies over the years have ranged from keeping aviary birds, especially finches, growing native fruit plants as well as attempting to grow everything I could from either seed or cuttings. I am one of the founding members of the modern and very successful Longwarry fishing club that in it’s first three years won a number of state trophies. My preference was river fishing for either blackfish or the Gippsland freshwater crayfish. I have been married twice. My first marriage failed after seven years and from that marriage I have three children, Karen, Janet and Brad. My second marriage with Joy has seen a long and happy period of thirty-two years. We have three children, Teresa, Glenn and Megan, plus nine grand children, and a tenth grand child due. I also keep in constant touch with my brother Ron, who lives in Melbourne. He is a constant source of information toward my writing. From 1993 until 2010 I lived in Irymple Victoria, and today, I am back in my home town Longwarry in Gippsland and because of my disability, I spend most of my time writing about the people in my life, and of course as you will read, fictional people who I do not wish to have in my life through this Creek family. November 1 2012 Lindsay Laurie.

      You keep a secret safe, wrapped up in the back of a drawer in your mind, all tied up in metaphorical ribbon and string, for 14 years. And in the space of three days, it unravels. How did that happen? I’ll tell you how. I was up a ladder, that’s how.
