Nolan recalled later that the tent motif, derived from a poem by William Blake, was in his mind associated with memories of St Kilda and the thrilling mystery of what was happening behind the canvas in the Luna Park sideshows1. Woman on beach, St Kilda shows a woman dressed in red emerging from a moonlit tent pitched beneath the tracks of the Big Dipper.
