...outpost of paranoia and fear festering with something more virulent than countrymen's traditional loathing for outsiders and government bureaucrats. Rumored large discoveries of opals in the surrounding geologic strata don't really explain matters because opal mining has scuffled along here for decades. Except for tankerloads of beer and gasoline, contact with the rest of Australia is largely cut off. Mail to the outside is stamped, sorted and bagged, but not sent out.

...There is a certain power in this situation; we know certain things that others are unaware of. Let's just keep it a secret. Let's keep the outdoor movie showings sponsored by all three Quad house committees to ourselves. Let's keep the Quad Carnival, with the free beer and food, carnival rides and music, in the family.
