These are place names I am not only familiar with, but which I know because of personal connection with each. Barcaldine is where - in Central Western Queensland, our father, Perry Lyons, was born. Brightwater is down the road from me, as is Lindesfarne, my local GP Practice. ...and I forgot Iona, a girl's Catholic High School in Perth. Glencoe the street around the corner where I lived when I was ten. Milton is where I shared a house in Brisbane, and where my good friend Cassandra now lives. Balquidder, a cattle and sheep property in South Australia where my brother and his wife worked.
