With the Northern Territory described on national radio as a failed state ,there is no doubt whatsoever that Darwin needs a new image. One like sunny California with its swimmable beaches , where gifted cartoonist/ architect Peter Burleigh, a member of the brainy Mensa Club, in 1969 pointed out up to 50 academics a month were encouraged to just navel gaze , if they so wished , ultimately solving the many mysteries and problems of the universe, probably leading to the invention of plastic shopping bags, napalm , credit cards , ring top cans , frisbies . To make the Territory a dynamic place, we respectfully suggest Darwin put out the welcome mat for navel fluff-gazing academics who could be fed grouse Territory brain food like prime T-bone steaks from Mataranka and Muckaty and Wedding Cake irradiated corn in whopper Coney Island buckets.
