What is being left behind?
No no, before you stop reading this isn’t another post about what clothes I am taking, or not taking, and still haven’t packed either way!!!
I was going to title this post ‘murder capital of Aust’ but I thought best not to, as everyone on the main website would see it and come to have a look! The situation on violence in Alice Springs has gotten really shocking lately, so much so that even after living here for 15 years I’ve not seen it this bad – what can compare to eight stabbings in six days? Yes, eight. Don’t even get me started on the issues at hand, but I decided to place this picture anyway….. locals to town will know what it is of and where it’s taken….. for others, this is common to see at 2pm every week day (to comply with our strict alcohol regulations and sale times)
There’s a whole list of other things being left behind too (notably my kid Abbie!) 
But yes… On Monday I was talking to a lawyer on leaving the Family Court (Hospital work), and he said to me ‘make sure you’re safe over there’ and I was thinking, seriously??? Right now, I’m much safer skydiving in a storm or driving too fast or being in a traing in UK/Europe, compared to walking around in the town of Alice (especially at night!).
