First went to Alice in 1990 as had an engine fail. Walked everywhere - no car.
Was surprised when a person said "white c..." as we passed on footpath. Then happened multiple times in next month as waited to get space on truck to go north.
Trucks generally are full north to Darwin empty on the Stuart south to Adelaide
The saying = sticks and stones and words will never is so true 30 years later in Alice it is not abuse anyone fears.
It is the theft, burgs and worst knives.
Still plenty of aggressive insults like schoolyard insults.
