Yep - I've been to Port Augusta a few times.
I love its desert industrial look. Makes me want to play some Midnight Oil 'diesel n dust'.
As for 'Boongs' and out of control ones. Well its always the ones that go 'city-slick' or 'political' ...the ones that 'leave the Land' spiritually - that turn into turds.
But that could be said for the majority of peoples in Mel & Syd too.
Go to Nowra in NSW Shoalhaven and it too is invested with bums - junkies, alcos, etc. Regardless of race. Then go down to Wreck Bay in JB and the 'Boongs' are all wonderful people, friendly, educated, nice and paid me 'tips' when I taxied them home after a well disciplined 'few' drinks like everyone else.
2. I don't know about Yemen - besides beheadings n' burkhas.
3. Perth? Well, let's not go there. Never know what's lurking down its dark alleyways laughing at itself.
I love the desert too, the red dunes and open space is unreal but Pt Augusta is way out of control, they have more cops per head there than anywhere else in Australia, the locals put up with them but never a kind word with very little integration.
I also know most boongs are good natured people but alcohol sends them crazy like the wind and that lot are increasing in numbers, alcohol is their now well instilled into their culture.
As for the East coast, I will take your word for it because I don't get over there much these days.
Perth, enough said on that one.
