Top of PageMelburnalia II
Synopsis:
Weaving civic history with urban myth Melburnalia No. 2 will take you on a rattling, screeching, ding-ding-dinging ride that reveals lost piggeries in the north; parental angst in the east; waiting exiles in the west; suburban symphonies in the south; and a forsaken magic hidden at the heart of the town

Top of PageQuiver
Synopsis:
a small group of underground scientists attempt to re-green the earth's now toxic surface. authorities will not, however, tolerate dissent, risk or hope. Quiver, a younger scientist, is simply trying to do the right thing by working hard and using her smarts, but she is becomes embroiled in bitter hostilities between two groups of senior scientists while a creepier battle plays out as colleagues and friends are disappeared. Truth here is very relative and memory is just another tool to exploit and control the future.

Top of PageRoom For Night And Day
Synopsis:
Molly, a well-meaning Australian, arrives one night in a remote mountain town in east Timor with her gift of one thousand second-hand books to start a library for the local children. To her consternation, the household she has been corresponding with does not roll out the welcome she was expecting. Fatima, who runs the household, seems to be fobbing her off with white lies, albina the matriarch seems vehemently opposed to their guest room being used as a library, cousin Blackie's behaviour is frankly alarming, and the learned Mr Cho is hiding in the roof. Molly agrees to spend her first night in an unsuitable room, but her sleep is interrupted by so many strange comings and goings that she gradually surrenders herself to the unwritten knowledge of her haunted hosts.

Top of PageTrue Adventures Of A Lost Soul At Sea
Synopsis:
In a remote coastal town in 1850, young motherless Olley Fletcher is discovered washed up on the shore. She and her fisherman Father York went missing in a storm some weeks before and she claims to have no memory of this event. She is taken in by the kindly policeman Dougal Morris who does not press her for details - his wife Dido however is itching after facts, and when the corpse of York Fletcher is caught in a net she insists that an autopsy be ordered. Olley now recalls that her Father was killed by a giant squid, who took her underwater for the remainder of her absence. When Dido heaps scorn on this account, Olley gives birth to a child which is half human and half squid.
