Bartender Treacle

One fine afternoon Braille Medhead’s deacon Dick invites Matty Mortlock Treek and mob to the local club, finding themselves on the other side of the bar to Darius and Zac, barmen uni students at UC and ANU

Dick, chatty leader of the moment and club regular, discovers the boys are soon to travel to the US and South America. Coming back to his table, he retells the story to Treek and cronies.

Treacle, never having seen such a club before, found herself delighting in the arbitrary nonchalance of the clientele. She wondered hazily could she do a course to get a bar ticket? Problem is she’s banned from speaking to outsiders, particularly men. Maybe Dick and Medhead would allow her to work in a women’s only bar. Goodness gracious me, surely not Tilley’s for such a special girl.
