This year the UK has witnessed a Christmas miracle. A miracle in the form of an organic, grass-roots movement to topple the multi-million-pound star-making machine that is the X Factor with an anti-establishment anthem that declares ‘Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me’. For four consecutive years Simon Cowell’s progeny have taken the coveted Christmas number one slot. And although other artists have tried to champion alternative options up the chart, none have captured the hearts and minds of a nation quite like this one – to bring ‘Killing In The Name’, a 17-year-old song by Rage Against The Machine, a band that split nine years ago, to the top and, as the band state in another of their famous songs, ‘take the power back’.

Wittenoom doesn’t exist. It was a town…once. A mine used to breathe life into its economy. But the fibre that once held the Australian outback community together has a nasty habit of nesting in your lungs and causing cancer. The potential risk of exposure to blue asbestos meant the government disconnected power and de-gazetted Wittenoom in 2007. It’s been razed by bulldozers and erased from road signs forever. Now you can’t even find it on a map.

Nice guys don’t always finish last. A case in point is Frank Turner – probably one of the nicest and most genuine guys in the UK music industry - who has finally, in 2009, found the critical and commercial success he’s long deserved. And while we’re bandying clichés around, here’s another one – this time one that he proves – success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. For Turner is the folk punk troubadour who’s traversed the UK, Europe and America, playing hundreds of shows since striking out as a solo artist; much of which he did on his own, with just a rucksack, guitar and laptop in hand.

Alex Hunter is greeted by the amusing sight of two young girls clambering onto the back of his Jeep and flashing cheeky grins in the morning light. The clock is approaching 7am and the pair is already waiting for the principal to begin the daily round-up of their boisterous peers. The excitable kids – aged between four and 14 - are keen for a kick of the football on the community’s small oval, which is already baked in searing sunshine. Sport has been brought forward to the early start because of the extreme heat of the approaching wet season. It’s just one of the many unique issues the 28-year-old principal of Purnululu Aboriginal Independent Community School has to deal with. Read more of 'Red Soil Schooling' here...
