I very much doubt that he was expected to fund trips to the Antipodes having only recently left education and I don't know of similar families who would expect it. These trips are the equivalent of the Victorian Grand Tour and are family funded.
Jeremy argued his corner successfully that he should gain parity with Sheila,whose photograph portfolio had been paid for by June along with her modelling course. When Sheila turned into a Lucie Clayton failure this took some of the pressure off Jeremy and he enjoyed a trouble-free few months lounging on the Auckland beaches,where he caught the eye of homosexual Brett Collins,who was running a sandwich bar there. The two became petty criminals and pilfered two Cartier watches from a jewellery store,one of which Jeremy gave to Suzette Ford upon his return to England. The precise reason for their departure from New Zealand is unknown,except that it was hasty and was rumoured to be in connection with a death at a city nightclub. They moved on to Sydney and became beach bums until the money ran out and June sent her son a one way ticket home,where the storm clouds were gathering as Jeremy realized he was shackled to a lifestyle he could never effectuate and ambitions planned for him he would never fulfil.
