But she did not dream of the changes which her world would know before her own lonely departure. Even while Sissy planned the magical escape to Sydney with the kids the gap between the Old Granny and her family had widened into a chasm which separated the black from the white; the safe from the dangerous; the old from the modern.What was it the two women wanted? Yes, Rose had spent some time in Sydney with Clarrie and knew the bright lights. Lights that shed no light on who newcomers really were. Pub lights in the city which threw no light but a kind of freedom to forget. A jangling call to bars where smoke and music and bitter laughter camouflaged the fact that all the maps were lost. Rose and Clarrie in Sydney. How was Sissy to know that Rose only sometimes spent the night at their fibro house with its uncut grass and leaking gas out in the post-war black and white TV, fish and chips, Coca Cola suburbs? Finally Rose saw Clarrie as a gaoler, and in the same way Sissy needed to escape from Jack she had broken free of Clarrie.
