Yirrkala

I recently spent a few weeks volunteering in a community art centre in Yirrkala, North East Arnhem Land. The combination of Yirrkala's red rocks contrast against the white sandy beaches and clear turquoise water was achingly beautiful. Sadly during my stay a young boy from the community was taken by a salt water croc, his death highlights the hidden dangers of these magnificent waterways.

"Underworld" Donald Weber

 "This new society is glamorous in the way blood is red and money is green. Ocharovanye – glamour – is what the German philosophers call a categorical imperative, and they like German philosophers here. The lust for icy luxury extends from the energy billionaires down to wretches living six to a room. Everyone has a secret elixir – and they never save the bottle it comes in, either. Not every Natasha of the thousands hitting the streets is sold into white slavery. Not every heavily-tattooed convict zek has better things to do.

Some like their jobs – or at least, they flaunt the perks of the underworld. They say: ”Life is a prison from which it is sometimes possible to break out. But only temporarily."
