XMAS FEATURE 12: ERBzine 1046 ERB's Christmas in Australia 1942 Ed had an early Christmas morning Australian breakfast -- everything passed the test except for the coffee which tasted like ether. After a walk around the city to deliver a message he returned to his room to write a story. He spent the afternoon in the hotel lounge chatting with a P-38 pilot just in from Guadalcanal. Ed and Freeman then took a tram to King's Cross for a Christmas steak supper. http://www.erbzine.com/mag10/1046.html
