'Pepper’s once normal life is falling apart. Her fractious father Jack has taken nasty to a new level, her spoilt younger sister Bunny dishes out unwanted social-worker advice and her far-away floundering brother Rob has continued his romance with the bottle. To top it off her estranged teenage daughter Megan has publicly blanked her.

'When 80-year-old Jack ends up is hospital, decisions need to be made about his future and the much-loved family home on Prospect Terrace. We watch as the family grapples with the past, as they rediscover forgotten truths, hidden treasures, and lost love.' (Publication summary)

1 The Boathouse Angela Murphy , 2006 single work drama humour ''The Boathouse" by Angela Murphy is a funny and witty tale about a man's battle to save his favourite watering hole, with its fishy history, from the advancing tsunami of property development. Of course, he's got opposition. He's up against the property developer from Surfers, the boutique wife from Noosa, and the local Mayor from Hell - and none of them are giving him any peace. Will Ray beat the treacherous rips and tides and win the Boathouse back - or will his own natural lethargy sink him before a wave is struck?
