Sean Condon

I was born in 1965. When I was a kid, my family lived in the suburbs of Perth. It felt like the Outback. One day I threw a piece of red plastic railway track over the back fence and lost it forever. This memory strikes me as somehow the quintessence of growing up in Australia in the early seventies. It's very important to me, but sometimes I can't help wondering if it actually hapened to another kid and I just read about it somewhere.
