...Stratford might see two or three crimes a month, says Taylor, 52, just back from a month's sick leave for a torn hamstring. These might be a drive-off from a petrol station or drunken driving on the Princes Highway; this morning, reports have come in of graffiti on road signs on the outskirts of town. Last Christmas there was a spate of thefts of solar- powered garden lights that Taylor wasn't able to crack. "They're unsolved crimes," he says, as is the disappearance of a duck from a local house around the same time...
...school buildings are education-department issue in a wilderness setting. But the surrounds are graffiti-free and clean-quite different from most remote settlements. The children are managing a vegetable patch, dwarfed by tall sunflowers; the playground equipment is still functioning. In Miss Kristina's class for little ones-Adiliah, Adoniah, Camille, Charlotte, Dudley, Elaine, Garry, Shonetta, Sunray, Tuwannah, Vaughan and Vondella-they are playing a memory game with shapes.

A requirement that guests strip their own beds upon departure smacks of a prison regime rather more than...
...else is there to see? Boys strut and saunter along and look dead-eyed, indicating with their edgy killer gestures and careless scornful laughs that this world is all there is - a noisy varnished hall lined with metal lockers and having at its end a blank wall desecrated by graffiti and roller-painted over so often it feels to be coming closer by millimeters...
