Welcome to Outback Jack
Living in the Australian Outback
Living in the Australian Outback
The outback where a flood can be a social event not something to be whinged about.
It is also often the 'forgotten land'. Forgotten by politicians and city folk alike. We are so far away from the decision making centre that they decide for us without consulting us. I think the Labour Government can't see much past Geppscross.That is until we find something they want like the gold, uranium and copper!
But now we see no funding help for the expansion of Olympic Dam for the port or for de-sal, and they say they want to boost jobs!!

The outback places never cease to amaze me. It can look so flat and dusty you wonder why you ever came, but the next minute you find an oasis, a treasure trove of flora, fauna and geological wonders and you are wondering if you can ever leave.

The Australian outback is a 'real time' educational unit. Nearly everyday we find something new and it sets us off on a journey of discovery. From amazing shield shrimps newly hatched in puddlles to an odd looking rock that speaks geological history. Along the way we also discover ourselves. Our strengths and weaknesses as nature hurls us from drought to flood and back again.

Then there are the people. Like the rocks on the Gibber plains they've been weathered by the lands extremes. Hardened by heat and washed by flood, they end up a marvelous matrix of sweet and sour, opal and matrix. They are like gold, they shine in adversity but have the same malleability that allows them to bend, rather than break.
They are interesting and often more informed of issues than many I have met in the suburbs.
I guess they have to be though as their life and livlelihood often depend on it.
In the Australian outback you have to educate yourself because there isn't really anyone else to do it for you.
It's not for everyone though, some don't seem to like being isolated and not having everything at their finger tips and sometimes no matter how much you do like the bush it can just get too hard to cope.
