Dave did his achilles heel in in Isa, we parted and planned to meet in Townsville but he caught up with me again almost to Cloncurry so we took the train from there. But I had been on that road before and Dunmarra and some other roadhouses were not nice places for Native people and young city women tricked into working those roadhouses.

These sorts of people and life are not just found up north or other desert outback places. You also see them in rural Victoria and NSW where these old run down Roadhouses, general stores etc often double up performing a variety of unexpected functions. They play a very important role for the locals as well as all the long distance haulage trucks passing through. In one such place I lived in as a teen, we knew when certain big trucks would passing through the locality, with very tired, hungry, cold, thirsty drivers, often around 3am. So we made sure there were lights on to greet them (little Christmas lights, would you believe???). And there would be bacon and eggs, chops, steaks, sausages etc and a huge old dirty big black pot of hot tea ready for them and we just waited for the trucks to arrive. We were keen to see them because the brought news from further up the line we needed to know, being so isolated... But,although there are a few such places still left, they are dying out. Partly due to local councils passing laws etc they cannot afford to comply with, as they make very little money, as much tourists want to visit such run down old places surrounded by old junk machinenery,old BOMB cars, rusted out old trucks etc, with torn curtains and fly blown walls, fly strip full of dead flies hanging at the entrance etc. They are probably not the safest or most hygienic of places and it's probably necessary to make these places at least cleaner and safer. However, without forcing them to be removed because they look so old and run down and uniquely Australian. They serve an important factor action for a forgotten section of the community and are hurting nobody, apart from annoying the prejudiced new age types. I know of two such places in my general locality. One also offers "quality modern accommodation with all mod cons". Some musician friends want to stay there and entertain the rough outdoorsy type workers who stayed there or are there and invited me. But, after going past such places and having been forced in youth to live in them on occasion,I had to say a polite no, thanks... I'll pass. I know what they are like inside.... But it doesn't bother the patrons or those who work in such places. You need to be pretty adaptaptable, make do with whatever conditions you find there and be grateful, not whinge about everything not being to your liking and, above all, have a sense of humour and don't judge others trying to do the best they can in difficult circumstances and conditions. In such places you can find some interesting "exhibitions" eg of art work, inventions, ingenuity etc and hear more incredible (and sometimes also highly improbable) stories, hear obscure musical performers, poets and such creative types all the locals believe ought to be famous. In a sense, they are, even if nobody else has ever heard of them. The locals love them. They don't get paid but consider being among good people who buy them a drink or a meal etc is pretty good "free entertainment", for performers and patrons alike. No need to buy fancy latest style ultra cool fashions and pay a fortune to go to some Melbourne night club for entertainment and risk being arrested, raped bashed,murdered on the he mean city streets. They are not the most glamorous of ritzy glitzy social scenes to be seen in but these old run down joints out middle of nowhere play a very important social connection role for rural communities. It's not always possible for all to have friends in high places eg Melbourne or Sydney. But,sometimes, friends in low places can be more important to have. Especially if you run out of good, water etc out middle of nowhere and need help from one of these Roadhouses. They seem to cater for all emergencies and to anything. Rough country outdoors working men knew how to deliver a baby on the side of a road with just work tools as "surgical instruments" long before it became trendy for this era's males to be involved in the child birthing process and these men were not scared to do it, though sometimes they might argue about best way to go about the birthing, depending on whether the baby had decided to come head first or feet first,which might be a bit more dignified, but such births were often a bit riskier and needed an older more experienced man to take charge, like the road workers gang leader boss man who gave instructions to the mother in labour and to his men helping her birth. OK, luv,you keep pushing hard. You boys,on the count of three, all pull... Mind the head, though... It's my best mate's baby... He'll get here as fast as he can... On horseback... Despite these men not being related to the pregnant mother and doing such an intimate thing to help her, when her husband or father or brothers etc couldn't be there, because they often had to be away working hundreds of miles away, for weeks on end, these women depending on men for help with birthing were never sexually abused by them. They had to depend on men to help them because men outnumbered women in remote rural Australian places and there was no communications or easy access to medical help. Just the bush nurse who can versed hundreds of miles daily to visit new mothers and show them what to do. She did a good job but could only usually help after the birth, not during pregnancy or at the birth. Nobody bothered with monthly pregnancy check ups or even getting a pregnancy confirmation. The women figured you'd soon know it if you were. Morning sickness, rapidly increasing baby bulge etc. So who needs a doctor to tell them what they could tell for themselves, or ask an older mother who knew?

I live in suburbia as most do and feel somewhat less as a person after watching this.

Hey, most persons that have an opinion & point of view on any given subject/s have never heard, seen, touched, nor experienced said subjects & yet they have the biggest voice. I lived in the outback for 12 yrs, loved it much & I much love suburbia too (where I live now) nothing is as good as it is conveyed to you, until you physically see for yourself. Hmmm 🤔👀🙄😐😊
