You'd be hard-pressed to pick it out on a map, but dusty outback town of Carinda in Australia has a very special place in David Bowie's career.
After all, it is the town where much of the music video for Bowie's memorable "Let's Dance" was shot. The 1983 tune featured a sweaty, sun-kissed Bowie passing time in a rural pub, a progression from the glam rock look that came to define his early career.

The song helped to bring to light the racial intolerance in that exists towards Indige**us Australians (http://mashable.com/2016/01/12/david-bowie-australia-video/), something which still resonates to this day (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/music/dancing-to-bowies-tune-still-resonates-30-years-on-20130505-2j12i.html).
