Goddess of the winter

Barry Eshensky never bought his white goods from superstores like other people did. He preferred the dump outside town next to the seedy Tit'n Spit Burger Bar, a popular table-dancing eatery for truckies en route to Sydney. The bar wasn't really Barry's scene - he was actually a 'knees' man - but unlike most of the townsfolk the proximity of the bar, and the fact that the whole area was rumoured to be an old asbestos pit, didn't put him off his weekly visits to the dump.
