FFRMan,
It's Bairnsdale, Victoria, but of course, this diverse group of people could be from any small town. Some astonishing 'highs and lows' that I came across during my research for the book - including the man who served in combat in all three services - RAN, then AIF , and finally RFC, during the course of the 5 years he was overseas. An amazing, and I think unique, story.
