Writing at the moment a short story which delves into parts of my youth, I just, for the first time since I left Austria in 1986, have laid eyes on the house I lived from my birth to 1978, when I emigrated to Toulouse in France.

Compared to Australia, homes aren’t a speculative investment and they stay almost unchanged for quite long times … even shops and businesses in Mureck haven’t changed at all, or if, they changed business-wise where as the families who own it are still the same!
