Journey by Bryce Brown

Journey is set in Devonport, New Zealand, around the turn of the last century. The Hotel on the corner is the old Flagstaff Hotel which was removed in 1900 and plans were drawn up for a grand hotel to be built, called The Esplanade Hotel which is still there now. The title 'Journey' was chosen to show that the couple are on a journey together, the male, a sailor will soon depart on his journey and also that old Devonport, then very much just a little isolated naval town, was on a journey of its own.
