Even better than Bagot is the little known one mile dam camp.
This gem is a beautiful billabong in the heart of the city near the Daly Street Bridge
Population, couple of hundred of the usual drunks and dogs

Palm Tree 13 - was on the 'Splanade - a hammock strung between two palms, home to a 'lighter coloured' long-grasser - he was a real character when he was a not full drunk! (otherwise he was a real pig of a man) ..

Cops quell angry mob
04Aug07
FIVE police officers faced an angry mob of around 100 people last night, when a domestic dispute snowballed into a war between two families.
Police were called to a house in Bagot Community, Ludmilla, around 6.30pm.
"Basically it was a domestic dispute, a female cracked a male over the head and then the male called his family in,'' a police spokesman said.
"Nulla nullas were produced, but the offenders disappeared once the police arrived.''
"A number of officers suffered minor cuts and bruises while separating the warring parties, however there were no serious injuries.'' a police spokesman said.
A warrant check led to the arrest of a man, 28, from Elcho Island, who was wanted for damage to property.
The dispute simmered down after the police attended, and did not spill outside the perimeter of Bagot Community.
However, nearby residents remained watchful after the police departed.
"There were about 80 people all shouting and screaming, it was such a horrendous racket,'' said one local resident, who did not wish to be identified.
"There's always problems, always noise at this particular house,'' the resident said.
We've spoken to the police and to politicians but they all tell us there's nothing we can do. It's been like this for 26 years.''

And that is the violent side of the issues that plague aboriginal communities that the bleeding hearts in southern capital cities neither see, hear or even acknowledge.
To the locals who live around Dick Ward Drv in the vicinity of Bagot, that sort of behaviour is probably best described as "night time".
I'll be honest, I've never (and will never) vote for John Howard, however applaud his grabbing the bull by the horns and doing something. What remains to be seen is just how serious his resolve actually is.....
