In our drive to take this series broader than just the Sydney region, here’s a wonderful story about living on the edge in the far off mining town of Mount Isa.

“Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can come out of solitude, out of going to a place where all is quiet except the beating of your heart.“

Jeanne Marie Laskas

If someone you know is on the edge with issues from the past or present, the Exodus Foundation can offer assistance and advice through its  Social Health & Wellbeing services and Crisis Intervention program.
