By way of explanation

These are stories of journeys made and people met. They took place in Melanesia, that vast crescent of tropical islands that curves across Australia's north.

The SARS item is a short piece made during the epidemic in Beijing. It is a conversation that took place between the author and a long time friend then living in the cty where she worked as foreigh editor for Beijing Review, a weekly, English language news magazine.

Yvonne has since returned to her home in Launceston, Tasmania, where she lives the same sort of overly busy life she had before leaving for China.
