He turned off the engine and, in the silence, bestowed upon me a sweet strained smile. Home sweet home, he said. But there was no sign of any home and what sweetness there was in the over grazed paddock was not immediately obvious. Stuff to carry, he said. I was soon loaded up with wine bottles and books and a very bloody leg of lamb around which the flies immediately clustered. Where s the cave? It s here. Now I followed Sheridan s broad back through a landscape quite unlike the one I had expected. Mind you, it suited him. It was a perfect habitat for an old hippie plenty of sedge, thriving blackberry patch with wattles growing through its centre, rusted-out water tank, fenced dam with four-year-old blue-gum saplings growing around its edge, and beside the cattle pad we walked along, signs of Sheridan s considerable energy fenced plantings of hakeas, grevilleas, eucalypts. It was not what I had pictured when I imagined a cave in the mountains . I had thought of something deep into the escarpment, a place where you could see the marks where Australia tore itself away from New Zealand. The cattle pad swung to the left along the contour of a hill but we continued upwards, and there it was the cave. It did not look like a cave but a garden shed buried in a hillside. There were plastic buckets everywhere around, and spades and hoes leaning against its windows. It was a cave, of course, with sandstone walls and a great slab of sandstone across its roof. Sheridan with his typical industry had framed out the mouth, building a wall, windows and a door. The result was a big rock-walled room that you could only call cosy. It was a little musty, true, but he quickly laid a fire in his stove. He lit the gas lamp and the refrigerator. He set a kettle on the primus stove. There were two over-stuffed armchairs but I chose to sit on the straight-backed wooden chair behind the desk and looked out through the dusty glass. Far in the distance the light caught the escarpment at Katoomba.
