RE: Bens Walk Part 1: Nowra, AUSTRALIA

in TravelFeed17 days ago

This area reminds me of a spot in the US down in Ohio called Hocking Hills. It's a beautiful area with lots rock formations like this. Sad to see that homelessness continues to be a problem everywhere. I have to admit. I am impressed they lugged that mattress all the way down that trail, those things aren't light!

Sort:  

Downhill through the trail is better than uphill...

... but homelessness is really quite striking in Australia. I don't remember it being this bad a couple of decades ago... but I was younger, and maybe I just didn't see it. But I also get the impression that we lost our social democratic core values, and now it is winners and losers.

I feel the same way. I think hard times have come on a lot of people. I also think that during times like the depression community was more important so people lifted each other up. These days they just let them fall to the wayside.
