Is Harry's Cafe de Wheels still in business just outside the entrance to the Wolloomooloo Naval Base? They used to have the best pie and peas in Sydney.

Indeed, Harry's is still there.

Harry's Cafe de Wheels - a Sydney icon.

I have fond memories of receiving sailors back on board who had had a little bit more to drink than they really should have, and had been told that buying the duty Officer and duty Chief a pie would hopefully lead to a blind eye being turned to their transgression. I wound up with quite a large pile of pies.

By the way - having just looked at your profile page, have you ever read David Feintuch’s “Seafort Saga”? They might have some appeal for you, given the novel you’ve mentioned you are writing.
