Readers have asked ‘Where is the setting for Ziffing?’

The Montague family lives in the town of Kastany, on the Murray River, not far from Albury-Wodonga.  On their journey to the ski resort they drive to Albury, then ‘turn off’ and head for the mountain.  It is never revealed whether they head north or south.  The author has left it obscure as to whether the mountain is in New South Wales or Victoria.  Readers who have experienced the snowfields – and have one or more favourites – might embrace the setting as their own.
