Hmmmm having lived and worked in Tennant Creek at one time, apart from the heat and flies in the season, this little ditty sure isn't representative of life there.

It certainly doesn't acknowledge the unemployment, poverty and disadvantage experienced by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples nor the damage caused to children, families and community by get-rich-quick 'whitefella' floggers of booze and poker machines. Nor is there any sense of the suffering and anguish experienced by the Tennant Creek branch of the 'stolen generation' as a result of past government policy and white Christian do-gooders. Nuff said!

I have to add it wasn't a song I ever came across in my time in various towns and places in the NT and given the low grade writing and poetic 'imagery' I'm not at all surprised. Methinks its better left forgotten, but thats only my opinion.

Cheers,
