A
literary agent acting on behalf
of Little Darwin
hopes to negotiate the world
rights to the Confessions of a
Considerate Caretaker, being the unbelievable diary of a chrome-domed resident
in Darwin’s nightclub
precinct. Without revealing
too much of the brilliant manuscript , it includes
the discovery of a tied up large
duck in a shopping bag, which made the front page
of the Northern Territory News ; a crazed
nude man sprinting along busy Mitchell Street - police wanting his description...well , naked, with a dangling bit, from memory. A parked car with the engine running for days .
There
will be enthralling details of several
flying saucer abductions involving highly intelligent Territorians ,some lawyers, for annal examination and Chinese cracker
removal. No mention of
odd Darwin nightlife would be complete without
several drunken French
and Irish backpackers being lumbered or falling
down the nearby
cliffs at Lameroo Beach , Taiwanese shift workers
and glassy-eyed Queensland tradesmen
running about like invading
pirates from the Caribbean after six months at sea .
