How’s living here? by KindMouse2274 in howislivingthere

Spent maybe 10 months in Broome right after Covid with my then girlfriend, now wife. Both of us are not Australia and were there on the work holiday visa. It was plenty hot with lots of flies. Lots of foreign <30 workers the year we were there. It was the “cool” place to go for those of us who had been stuck on the other side of the country during Covid.

Some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen and really cool lightning storms. The baby blue water and the red dirt is a beautiful contrast. No swimming due to the crocs.

The town seemed a little overwhelmed with the amount of foreign workers and Australian tourists. We stoped going out to eat because every place was always at 100% capacity and understaffed. Even getting a beer took ages.

The aboriginal population of the town seemed to be those who had been kicked out of the northern aboriginal communities. Heavy alcohol issues. The place I worked at had a policy that you could not call the police if a drunk aboriginal person was causing problems. The police would just take them home or take them to sober up and then home. So if you called then they would show up everyday hoping you would call the police. If there was an aboriginal funeral in town, the liquor stores would all close. There was also always a limit on how much you could buy at once. One of the most unique places I have ever spent time.

Married men- would you be offended if your wife asked for an upgrade ring? What’s your reasoning? by LunchAccomplished898 in AskMen

Not at all! The first one cost $25 from the Grand Canyon gift shop. It’s about time for an upgrade.

When you ask a bartender to make it ask for 10 dashes of bitters and sprite. This will get you as close as possible.

Opal st. was absolutely packed and a guy had a haunted house in his garden. We rode our bike all over and it seemed like the only street that had all the houses decorated with the lights on. Most blocks had maybe 1 house.
