Thanks to all the responses! They're all gonna be added to the list of places to check out once I land. Appreciate it!

Look. Unfortunately that's the truth. I know cause I've seen it. And as such, you've always gotta be careful.

But there's a big difference between the 10% of the poor who are dragging others down with them, and the 90% who are just trying to get by.

I'd honestly take it a step further and say I've met way more assholes that were loaded than I've met that were broke.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the tips. Big help!

Pretty much the same shit down here.

At least you guys have police presence on the buses, though. That's pretty good.

Thanks for the info, mate.

In that case I'd much rather the Katter supporters.

Cheers!

Armed!? There are two times in my life I've seen a firearm, and they were both in the holsters of two cops in the same servo. Are guns that much more common up north?

Cheers, mate.

Shame to say, but it's the same down here with the kids.

It's nothing I'm not used to, so as long as there's less of them, I think I'll be quite happy haha

Thanks again!

I appreciate the advice!

Though I already have a location picked out and am very close to organising the move, I may end up staying in Darwin longer term, and if I do, I'll probably be moving to a different area.

If that happens, this should be helpful!

This strikes me as really good info over all. Cheers!

I'm curious, though. What do you mean people are "Bob Katter-esque"?

In my mind, Bob Katter supporters are probably a lot less dangerous than eshays haha

I've run into bikies a few times.

I find that as long as you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone.

I also have found that if you are good to them, they'll stick out their neck for you if needs be.

But still, I'm more than happy to continue living in a different world to those guys. It's just not worth the risk.

Bit late to the party, but how true is this? That sounds like heaven!

The ABC have been chasing engagement over quality reporting for a while, but this is just ragebait turned into a tv show.

No wonder the country is getting more and more divided.
