Both culturally and geographically isolated from the rest of Australia, the people of Northern and Central Australia, specifically Broome felt ignored, misunderstood, and misconstrued by the urban South.

In almost everything you could name, Jamie was better than me…We were opposites.” Hart displayed what many felt about the new family from the Urban South. “I envied him, I was jealous, I pitied myself.”
