...decked with flowers and bright seat rugs. But "it's dangerous going out" of town, says an Australian soldier at the governor's compound who asked not to be named.

The compound, with its neatly tended rose garden, is ringed by high walls, double checkpoints, machine-gun emplacements and blast barriers, and guarded by 50 men.
