I have a room booked here.
Would you like a drink?
Yes, thank you. That would be nice.
Sit down.
Yes, right.
Evening.
Good evening.
Confirmed it then.
Yes, well, it's a
confirmed position.
At least til the end of the year.
Let's hope you last a bit
longer than the last bloke.
Cheers.
What about this room?
Jim's missus will fix you up.
Hope you find it
nice and comfortable.
I don't usually get
too many complaints.
Plenty of room for your stuff.
Breakfast's from 7.
Ah good, I like a nice early start.
My name's Simon incidentally.

Any news about Peter
Mr Flynn?
No, not that I know of.
Well I'll leave you to it then.
If you need anything just
knock on the kitchen door.
G'day.
Good morning.
Oh,
I didn't recognise
you for the moment.
So it's you car?
Yes. Yes it is.
Well you've no right
to be driving it.
Pardon.
It's unregistered.
The registration
expired six months ago.
Yes, I never seem to get
around to put the new one on.
You know I do it every year.
You know it's an offence
an expired registration label?
Oh yeah, sorry.
You got one day to get it changed.
Report with the vehicle
to the police station
within 24 hours.
Otherwise i'll book ya.
You're the new school teacher?
Yeah, yeah that's right.
Which way is it to the school?
That'll be $4.80.
What's this?
It's an account.
The last bloke shot through
without paying for it.
Yeah but that's personal.
You can't just pass that onto me.
Somebody's gotta be responsible.
He's coming.
Good morning.
Good morning sir.
What are you doing?
Don't!
Let him down!
Let him down!
That was a stupid dangerous
thing to have done.
Could've been a terrible accident.
Sir,
I couldn't have hurt myself anyway.
See this knot,
it stops it tightening
right up an choking ya.
So long as ya quick.
Pretty neat ay?
Sir.
Thank you.
Good morning.
I'm Sally Abbott.
Well my name's Robinson
Mr Robinson.
Yes.
We used to have Mr Flynn.
Oh yes.
He drew all those
things on the board.
He was very good at drawing.
We all liked Mr Flynn very much.
Can you draw Mr Robinson?
Yes, a little. Not
as well as Mr Flynn.
And he sang too and
played the guitar.
Do you play the guitar?
No.
I'm the flower moniter this week.
I've come in to fix the flowers.
They'll all be needing water.
Keep an eye on that
roast please Ivy.
Oh there's one extra
tonight, don't forget.
How's your dad?
Yeah well it takes time.
Belongs to Peter Flynn.
We've been expecting
him back to fetch it.
Haven't let that room since.
Everything all right?
Flynn's a missing person,
listed as a missing person.
Along with hundreds of others.
Well have you...
I mean, are the police
looking for him now?
His description was circulated.
Hey Mr Robinson.
It's not a crime you know,
to disappear.
Which is more than you can say for
an improperly registered vehicle.
Do you play cards?
Yes sometimes.
Tonight then, Jim's place.
Good night Mr Robinson.
Oh thankyou. Good night Trevor.
Have you ever seen a
pelican's nest Mr Robinson?
No, no I haven't
With eggs in the nest?
No.
No
There's some pelicans'
nests where we live
down around the swamp.
Are there?
There's lost of birds on our place.
It's called Summerfield.
It's an island.
You've been there.
You took the wrong road.
Oh yes.
Why don't you come out
to our place tomorrow?
Well...
I won't tell my mother
it'll be a surprise.
Mr Robinson?
It is Mr Robinson?
Yes, that's right.
Oh good,
I wanted to get around
yesterday actually but...
Oh sorry, I'm Mary Shields,
i've been acting teacher here.
Oh yes of course,
I noticed your name
in the role book.
It's nice to know you.
Everything all right?
Yeah, fine.
Thanks for making it so easy.
That's kind of you but
I must jump in and say
really Mr Flynn was a very
I hope you don't think
I've been checking on you.
Not at all.
I suppose I have in a way
but with the very
best of intentions.
Just phone if there's
anything I can do to help.
Thank you.
Got any plans for
the weekend Simon?
I thought I might try the surf.
You'll have to go
across the ocean side.
Scuttler's bay is
probably the best.
Just watch the undertow that's all.
You follow the road straight out
until you hit the fork.
Then go right. Sharp right.
Well that other road's only a
track to Lou Mcdonald's place.
He wouldn't take that.
Well he wouldn't wanna.
Mr Robinson.
Mr Robinson.
That's the wrong way.
Mr Robinson.
You've come the wrong way.
There you are Sally.
Just close your eyes.
Rest for a moment.
It's broken alright.
It can't be set until
it's been x-rayed
which I can't do here.
I'll put splints on her leg
but you'll have to take her home
and then her mother
can get her across
to the hospital at Penton.
Shouldn't we just
telephone her home?
I'm afraid there's no
phone in Summerfield.
The gate's locked.
Damn.
It's always locked.
You ok?
I'll be as quick as I can.
Yes?
Mrs Abbott?
Ms Abbott.
Oh, it's Sally's mother
then I want to see.
Is she alright?
No, she's had an accident.
Where is she?
She's in my car,
down by the bridge.
She came straight
out in front of me,
She has a broken leg.
Now wait a minute
shouldn't we tell Sally's mother?
I am her mother.
Get in.
Believe you had an accident ?
Yes.
Quite spoiled your day I expect?
Yes.
with her run of bad luck.
Did you meet him?
Who?

Sally's uncle.
No, no I didn't.

settled there over 150 years ago.
He was a sea captain.

Not that I'd wanna live there.
Stuck out like a shag on a rock.
Will it have to be reset?
I'm sure it won't
Are you comfortable?
Yes thankyou.
I'll make you a hot drink.
Will I have to go to
the doctor's again?
I don't know.
No, I don't think so.
Hello uncle David.
Hello silly Sally.

You can't be watching her
every moment of the day.
Don't you think I know that David?
