Thank you, Jason, for everything the whole way. I am hugely grateful to my agent Selwa Anthony (and Brian, Linda and Selena), my publisher Laura Harris and my editor Amy Thomas, and my wholehearted thanks go to Tony Palmer and the team at Penguin. Advice and encouragement from Kennedy Estephan and Peter Lancett helped me immensely while writing this book. I would also like to thank the Children’s Book Council of Australia (New South Wales) for their generous support. Rohan Nott filled me in on the details of mining life, and Dr Anina Rich of the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science, Macquarie University, generously provided me with background information on synaesthesia – any errors, in interpretation or otherwise, are mine alone. For years of listening, thank you Dixie Creaghe and Jeanette Eagar. And for seeing the wave, thanks to Geoff and Pam Nott. My thanks also go to Sue Booker, Julie Chevalier, Heather Christie, Derek Smith and George Mallory, who were there at the beginning.
