From the tower, which we mounted in shifts, a good view could be had of the town in all directions, and in particular of the roads by which we might expect the outlaws to arrive. Historical record

This is really about myself. I used to climb the water tower at Horsham in Victoria and look at the sleepy town and think, dream and imagine. Sidney Nolan Text © National Gallery of Australia, Canberra 2010
