When the Siren Goes
Introduction
“It does us a power of good to remind ourselves that we live on two volcanic rocks where two tectonic plates meet, in a somewhat lonely stretch of windswept ocean just above the Roaring Forties. If you want drama - you've come to the right place“
Former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer
