What's life like in the Outback? Does anyone live there? I know about Alice Springs, but I'm not sure if that's just a meme town.

S-Sorry at work right now and don't have proper qt negresses on my phone

Pls answer my question

It's basically terrible.

People are uneducated, high school drop outs.
Nobody there has been to university except for the local doctor.

and there are pubs everywhere as that's all people from the outback do all day when they aren't sheering sheep or doing something equally as crap for minimum wage.

It's aright to visit every now and then to go camping/sightseeing, but I'd never live there and neither would the overwhelming majority of Australians.

This video kinda sums up what country people are like.

Imagine them sitting around drinking when not doing this.

Imagine a whole place where everyone is as stupid as the people in this video.

That also helps print a picture of what the outback of Australia is like.

I thought many are wealthy mineral extractors who work out there

Atleast in my home state - you could drive for 100s of km and see literally nothing but the same thing. Scrub, small hardy trees and red dirt.

A lot of the outback towns are depressing as fuck and some are just outright shitholes, although despite what some of the people said above you can find some pretty salt of the earth people up there. Massive amounts of pissheads though, because theres literally fuck all to do other than go to the pub most of the time. Substance abuse is pretty rife among the aboriginals.

Honestly, it takes a special kind of person to live out there. Some fall in love with the land, honestly despite the vast amounts fuck all between them - you'll find some pretty mindblowingly beautiful views.

Source - lived in West Aus most of my life and travelled a lot of it for work.

The vast majority of miners fly in and out.

Most stay on mining camps, some higher execs get a house to stay in. But they rarely live out there full time.

I've lived in the Outback.

Lived in a town called Mount Isa when I was a kid.

It was kind of fun, there was lots of frogs and lizards and giant insects and shit so as a kid I spent many nights out, running around town collecting animals.

Pool cost 50cents to go into, movies cost $2.

That being said, the closest grocery shopping was in Townsville 9 hours away, so it was an 18 hour round trip to do grocery shopping.

I also lived in the Alpine mountains as well in a tiny little cabin at (-36.302009, 148.314701) for about a year doing maintenance work for the snowy hydro project.

That though was boring as absolute fucking shit and ruined my social life and relationship with my long term girlfriend.

Pic related of the view from my cabin, oh also my cabin was filled with magazines from the 1930s.

Oh also I saw a Space X rocket spiral out of control in the sky.

After spending a year living in a National Park I have a special hatred of 4WD'ers.

Fuck I hate bogan car events, I used to be dragged to them so much as a teenager, Ute musters, burnout comps etc.

Also they are literally the most misogynistic, rapey places on earth, I've seen numerous girls have their shirts literally ripped off them while they were just walked around and be reduced to tears by drunk as fuck bogans feeling them up. I literally have no fucking clue how all the crazy levels of sexual assault I saw at these events didn't make headline news.

>>58116645
That's why I say that I can watch king of the hill and imagine him as a bogan and instead of a redneck and the show still makes sense.
>>
>>58116888
The only car events that don't have atleast some bogans are for cars like porches and euopean roadsters.

Those cars seem to repel bogans for some reason.

I hate those shitty utes that country people drive.

They are usually Australian made because they think that's patriotic..

Covered in tasteless stickers, usually to do with alcholol, country music and how great v8 powered cars are.
>>
>>58114252
Watch the movie Wake In Fright. Only change between when that was made and now is that they have access to a lot more than beer to get fucked up on now. There are probably more drug-labs than schools in Australia.
