Armidale Ballad Of Hobart Jones, The Incident At Fugue Bay, The Mrs Holt No Island Is A ManArmidale
Synopsis:
Mike hates being called Mick. It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that Brock has no choice but to call him Mick. Brock, you see, is a jock; and Mike, when he was at school, was everyone's punching bag. It's not a problem, just one of the joys of living in a share house.

Will her charms be enough to unite the balladeers of New South Wales? and will Jones manage to get his maid back to england?
