Sulari's Sydney Odyssey

  I've spent a lovely couple of days as a guest of the Sydney Writer's Festival.  When I wasn't appearing on panels and signing books, I  wandered beautiful Syndney taking in some of the landmarks that I wrote about in A Few Right Thinking Men.  I found the Ashton Art School (which Rowland and Edna attended), Angel Place off George Street where the New Guard met and of course our wondrous bridge.  I met some wonderful writers including Elisabeth Stead, Sharmini Flint, P.M. Newton (with whom I've crossed paths before) and Alan Gold.  I passed David Malouf in the streets and had breakfast just a couple of tables away from Howard Jacobson.  And to top it all off I lunched with the Greens, my very charming publishers.
