Australia, Boxing Day, 1945 and Harold Slocum’s Travelling Tent Show becomes stranded in the outback town of Turnaround Creek. Some of the locals remember the last time the troupe arrived and as emotions begin to run high, new life is breathed into the town.

Peter, a professor of pure mathematics who embodies niceness itself, weekends at Crystal Inlet as do most of his friends. Peter is in financial trouble because of his brother’s bankruptcy and his neighbour Margaret decides to seek help from his friends who spend much of their time boasting about their wealth.

Set in an English grammar school in the 1980’s, we meet a bunch of bright, funny senior boys who are pursuing the usual: sex, sport, and a place at a good university. For the old-school humanist and eccentric teacher Hector, literature is a preparation for life and engages students with culture and knowledge for its own sake. He is replaced by the up-and-coming rationalist Irwin who gives way to the results-driven education that we see today and breaks knowledge down into a set of bullet points that may come up on an exam paper. As one of the boys puts it: “Do you want us to be thoughtful or do you want us to be smart?”
