Near my home in Melbourne’s inner city sits a dilapidated but grand old house. In the nearly four years I’ve lived nearby, it has sat empty, falling deeper and deeper into disrepair, its garden becoming more wild, creating more and more problems for us as its neighbours. There’s the pile-up of hard rubbish that often spills into neighbouring properties and onto the street. There are the bugs and rodents drawn to the place, which, of course, visit us as they come and go.

I don’t know if I’ve always been afraid of water, but I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t. I remember as a child sitting next to the bath to watch it fill, lest it flood the house in the few minutes we left its side with the tap running. I’d had no bad experiences (that I could remember); my fear seemed to be innate. Like most Australians, I had swimming lessons in primary school. But one of the first tasks was to submerge your face and head in the water, and I flat-out refused.
