“Who have you spoken to while you’ve been down here?” he asked. I told him. “The Clearwaters? There used to be so many of them that it was said if you threw a stone, you’d hit a rabbit or a Clearwater. Old Hardwicke­he’s a bit of a hoarder. But if it weren’t for him a lot of local history would have been lost. Mark Strang had a wonderful abstract landscape in the art exhibition two years ago, but I didn’t think there was anything that really came out and smacked you in the gob this time. Broad Bay is the Peninsula’s Bohemia.” I got the impression that not much escapes the attention of Senior Constable Kellas.
