St Bede's Catholic Church in Pyrmont Street is the oldest, continuously functioning church on the Pyrmont peninsula. The Sydney Morning Herald article on the laying of the foundation stone (7/2/1867) stated that, when completed, the new church would be "a very neat and elegant structure".

After serving as Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger did a stint at Harvard whereupon he said, “University politics makes me pine for the relative peace of the Middle East.” Which sets the stage for ubiquitous murderous intent, mysterious multiple murders, identity politics run amok, and satire for the absurd age in which we live." University of Lost Causes is a novel for our absurd and troubled times. It is a creative, humane, and unique treatment of a controversial topic that can be enjoyed regardless of one’s personal politics. This character-driven novel is antithetical to taking entrenched and polarized political stances that have become endemic in these uber serious, humorless times. St Jude’s University, a fictitious New England university, at an unspecified time after Covid, is determined to become the most woke ivory tower in the world. Thank God things don’t always turn out as planned.
