ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
AUSTRALIA
First and foremost, Mum and Dad, whose moral support in uncertain times was matched only by their financial support. You got me from there to here.
My first guide to the publishing world, Teresa Pitt, who acted on an impulse: I hope this volume feels like your justification.
All the crew at Transit Lounge: Barry and Rhonda Scott, Tess Rice and Tim McQuiston. You took a wounded bird and made it fly.
Other publishing professionals who demonstrated and maintained faith in my work: above all, Siobhán Cantrill, Anouska Jones (you're revisionists, in the nicest sense); and Suzanne Falkiner, several of whose textual amendments I have incorporated with gratitude.
Brad and Ryan Warburton, who told me a decade ago that I should write a book. Well, I've kept my part of the bargain â¦
Neil: ready when you are.
Bruce and Els: for being there when I needed you.
The late Dr Gerald Ungar, Dr Terry Lim, Mr Doug Brown and surgical team (you know who you are): for bringing me back from the brink. The nurses and specialist staff on Ward 13 and in rehab at the Austin: for seeing me through, and for all your help, physical and philosophical. Terry Lane and Jon Faine, and Sarah Ashley, Jon's producer, the first to think my story might interest the wider world.
Garry Linnell: for reminding me why we write.
Michael Gawenda and Rod Wiedermann: for sending me to a tranquil corner.
Gideon Haigh, severely tested friend: your Bastille Day email liberated the book within.
Mal Schmidtke: for refusing to sell me short, even in a bearish market. Gary Walsh: it was through your generosity, with just a tincture of forbearance, that âEmails from the Edge' first saw the light in the travel pages of
The Age
.
Creighton Burns: for your calm and steady wisdom, combined with the soundest of advice.
Lucas, Linda and Joash Yong: thanks for doing your best to see the mail got through.
Jon and Jenny Cook: for looking after my home as if it were your own. T. and D.: you know why.
Danny, Michael and all the crew at Mobility Plus: you were right about durability.
Lisa and Graham, Elsternwick Camera Centre.

The late Gavin Young, and his âsea anchor', Gritta Weil, for showing faith in works yet unattempted â in particular to Gavin for giving my voyage his benediction, in the first month of the millennium and the last of his life.

NAMIBIA
Craig Newby and Kris Pate: for making the computer do its job so that I could do mine.
Gwen Lister, founder and editor of
The Namibian:
for giving me time to write the book. And everyone else at the world's pluckiest newspaper who gave me the privilege of your company.
Viviane and Günther Scholz, in Swakopmund: for the gift of a family Christmas and, Viviane, for taking on the task of taming the Beast.
Graham Hopwood: for exercising the power o' the giftie, and keeping me more or less focused (as the need arose).
Werner Menges: for providing inspiration, and being one.
Christelle and Jaco Reed at Puccini: for giving me space to write the book.
