Here the temperatures range from -4C to +56C, no running water - satellite communications if you can afford it -no garbage collection, but the air is as clean as Everest and the silence is only broken by a passing kangaroo thumping the ground. Great place to confront yourself or read. A place hidden from view just off the highway.
In 2016 a town
bore was sunk.
