Title: Australia town seeks new residents with one-dollar rent
Post by: eye30 on November 04, 2010, 18:20:22
Any of our Oz members live here or thereabouts?

The town of Trundle, with a population of about 380, is seeking people from from all over Australia to fill six homes, some of which have been vacant for years as the region suffered a long and devastating drought.

Interesting story Lester (surprised to read only 215 miles from Sydney - not really that far) I expected it to be like 500 miles from anywhere... (never heard of that place before)  :eek:
