Dick Seddon's Great Dive 

'...along the road a trail of Bon Chertien cores, on verges or chucked over fences into blond paddocks, and later just out of reach of surf, all of them loud with wasps drinking the saliva of Kate or Chink, Kate and Chink, as well as sweat pear juice.'

Kate remembering their life together, apart, their travels: 'If I reconstruct his life for you it's going to have to be done like this...'

Kate's reconstruction is Ian Wedde's first novel, Dick Seddon's Great Dive.

Dick Seddon’s Great Dive traces the story of a love affair through 1970s New Zealand counterculture, traveling between the poles of Bethells Beach and Port Chalmers. Parties and drugs fill daily life, while the land’s true history and the dispossession of its original owners press the story to its tragic conclusion.

Published in Islands: a New Zealand Quarterly of Arts and Letters, Vol. 5 No. 2, November 1976. Dick Seddon’s Great Dive won the 1977 New Zealand Book Award for Fiction
