Probably the most beautiful place I have ever been and with some of the worst people I've ever met. There are places there with a stark primeval majesty that is unique across the whole world, and to see them I had to deal with some of the most naked racism I've ever encountered.
The image that emerges out of all my memories of the place is looking out the window at the incredible flat red-sand expanse of the outback while a motel owner was warning me about how the local indigenous population comes out at night and steals wallets with fishing poles.
Honestly, if you can fish my wallet out of my back pocket with a rod and tackle while dangling over the edge of a building, you deserve to have it. That's some real Looney Toons shit.
