There will always be someone who doesn't like something that someone else likes. eg: I don't like Sydney, but that's my personal preference, it doesn't mean that its a terrible place, and I understand that lots of people do like it

I think that Bringamugalong or Whykickamoocow are pretty awful. Just look on the map and you'll see why

6. Anywhere in the Lancashire
Ther's also a sort of generic one horse/pub/post office town type of place here that would just be way too isloated for me...like say Birdsville.

Kangaroo Ground - ditto with the kangas
Caroline Springs - lucky Caroline

It's a nice little town. I wouldn't call it outback, but it is rural. And very small.
I wouldn't go there unless you have a job, or a lot of savings you are willing to spend...
Maybe if you're a tradesperson you get work, they seem to get work everywhere. Though, I think the main employment in the area would be farming stuff. And maybe a bit of tourism...

Lovely place; something for all the family...
see it as the perfect place to dissapear, many people turn mad because of the heat or too much to drink and become killers, which is why it has the highest murder rate in OZ. It is full of the worlds most deadly snakes and man eating crocodiles. It has Cyclones, one of which destroyed the entire city of Darwin. It is a fantastic place for a holiday because of the outback scenery but l would'nt want to live there.
