The small towns on this side of the country seem a bit more vibrant than they do in the west. As opposed to spending time in big cities, small towns are often great to check out. No parking hassles with no meters. Everything you need is within easy walking distance. Surprisingly the food can be really quite good if you seek out the right places. Broken Hill, New South Wales, appears to be a sister city to Kalgoorlie. Lots of nice old buildings, friendly libraries with free WiFi, and cool little cafes with trendy looking people – perhaps displaced from the larger cities. Had some wonderful french toast for breakfast this morning. Also had some nice pizza from a town in South Australia called Loxton. Some day soon I will break out the Trangia and cook my own dinner.
Loxton was very small and had its share of people you’d expect to find in Dunt, South Australia. Loxton also had nice old buildings and everything you needed within a short walking distance of the town square.
