OK my rant! *trying not to be 'racing scum'*
I am back in Darwin having last been here in September. (I come here about 3-4 times a year)
From the Airport to the hotel I stay at is a short walk (< 10 minutes) through the carpark along a path through a little park. My boss always wants me to take the Ariport shuttle for security reasons, but I always thought it was safe here and better to walk.
Well for the first time since the path was built (only a few years) did i decide that I would have to be careful of walking through the little park.
As I entered the little park I spied some itinerants on a park bench/table to my left, they looked at me and commented. On my right up ahead I see the other table with a green can midden under it. and also to my right I see a pile of clothes and personal items indicative of someone having slept (probably raped a young girl) there. There was rubbish everywhere. This is a very short path less than 100metres. This is also not an unusal sight in Darwin and surrounds, but the first time here at the airport.
How disappointing! I get very little exercise in Darwin due to the heat and the personal safety issues. the Airport management can't even keep that little park tidy!
