    @Paladin @SummerabbacatWell, just like Mac Harbour and T'ville are fictional towns loosely based on real ones, so too is Matt and Luke's home town, with parts of it based on Tamworth and Armidale and those other small towns around here. Maybe I should call it Urr-wa-tam-idale ??? LOL With the universities - also fictional - I had Southern Cross (Lismore) and perhaps Southern Highlands (Wollongong) in mind.

    Wow! You guys have put a lot of thought into this! ❤️

    Thank you for your comments. New England is the region in northern New South Wales where I live. I can understand why folks might get confused, especially if they haven't picked up any earlier clues about the setting. Cheers.

    Nailed it 😀

    Haha. Ride long enough and those other saddles can hurt just as much. But still not as much as my father's leather belt! (They were kind of the memories I was talking about! lol)

    Haha! Great job! Expect the unexpected! Kinda brought back some childhood memories too! Thank you!

    Thank you very much. This is just the first in a series of stories set in Thompsonville ... though just a heads up that the next one (to be posted shortly) doesn't actually feature Matt and Luke 🙂 Hope you enjoy these also. Mark

    Love using YouTube to listen to all sorts of music, not to mention LGBTQ short films! So much crap on tv these days YouTube is so much more fun. lol

    Thank you so much. I have to admit that the 'sad' response was a bit of a surprise, but I can understand where you were coming from. Got to admit that I do love my country! I have a couple of the Trio albums. Saw Dolly in concert with Kenny (saw Kenny four times in fact). Garth Brooks, Highwaymen, Glen Campbell, Tim McGraw and a host of others! I hope you enjoy the rest of the stories in the series!

    Thank you. And yes, there may have been a few loose ends that didn't get totally cleaned up, but hey can sometimes be the foundation on which the next installments can be written! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

    Thank you! Happy tears are always good!

    Thank you so much. Hopefully one of these days Matt and Luke will be able to take that step!

    Thank you, Ivor.

    When we returned to our camp it was later in the afternoon than we had thought and the sun wasn’t very far above the mountainous horizon. ‘How about you get the fire going again and I’ll see if I can catch something,’ Matt said as I dropped our bag of fruit onto the ground beside the tent. ‘Sounds okay,’ I answered. ‘But I really wanted to see you reel in the big one.’ ‘Light the fire and then come down to the river,’ Matt said. ‘I can do that.’ He retrieved his fishing

    Thank you.

    That has been suggested, Ivor, but it's not a path I've explored as yet. The idea has now been lodged in my brain, however, and the cogs are turning. Watch this space!

    Most unfortunate about those allergies acting up. I'm sure there is some stuff you can get from the chemist that might help. May I suggest you get some before the next chapter get posted? And yes, Beyond Salvation will eventually get posted here. I'm working on all the stories in this series first though.

    With the weight of the world now lifted from our shoulders, the rest of the week simply flew by. We had all noticed the change that had taken place among us, which was nothing short of amazing. The inner light, which now illuminated not only Matt and his parents but my own parents as well, was shining out for all to see. With only one exception, things were finally as they should be. I could only hope that the joy would last, as I still felt as if there was a shadow hanging over

    All will be revealed ... eventually ...

    Thank you Geron. T'ville is fictional, but based on a place I visited in my early teens. I've built a whole story series around these guys and this little town Enjoy! MP

    All locations are fictional, but are based on actual places I visited in my youth 🙂 Macquarie Harbour is a mash up of the cities Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. Thompsonville is loosely based on a place called Lake Cathie. All of these are located a few hours from where I live.

    @Al Norris is your definition of prawns and shrimp based on the different sized species? When we say 'prawns' they may be the small School Prawns (your 'shrimp' I think) or King Prawns (the larger version) ... or is there something else I'm missing?

    Note sure I've heard the term Peace Bond here. I did use the term Good Behaviour Bond a few times, which is where a conviction may be recorded but the judge will set a period of good behaviour rather than incarcerate someone. As for barbecue, BBQ, barbie, I guess they all cover the same type of event, usually steaks, sausages, chops etc ... though other foods (prawns, chickens etc) may sometimes be cooked up, depending on family tastes. No real distinction between regions in the use of any of those terms... at least as far as I'm aware. Hope that is of some help. MP
