A former champion surfer has finally found a modicum of peace - but it has been an emotionally and physically torturous journey, writes Frank Robson.

For Westerly Windina, home is a small Housing Commission flat at the Gold Coast. Technically, she lives alone but in every other sense Windina shares her home, and her mind, with the man she used to be: surfing great Peter Drouyn.

For the first-time visitor, this takes some getting used to. Especially when the coquettish transsexual, who styled her female self on Marilyn Monroe, talks of Drouyn in the third person.
