There are shedloads of cool little Aussie towns, Diane! I’ve been to all of yours except Stanley and they’re great!! My only problem was narrowing down the list to 26 😀

I think it’s only got down that low once, Iris! But even so … it’s a nice place to visit (although I’ve only been there in autumn), and very popular in winter for the skiing!

Uhh, I wonder, really! Being in Australia with all the options – who chooses to live in minus 23 C?!

THAT kind of dog story is what you get downunder, Kozue!!! But there are also loyal dog stories like your Shibuya Station story – one of these was even made into a movie called ‘Red Dog’! That’s an idea for another post 😀

The distance sign was stunning enough for me – They should be meters, not km!! But the dog statue was even more shocking. Dogs and humans have been good friends since old times and there is a LOYAL dog statue that is the icon of Shibuya Station in Tokyo. But I have never heard of THAT kind of dog story!!!

In reply to Andrew.

Jerilderie’s windmills are AWESOME, Andrew – but the best thing is that after you’ve seen them, you can retire to the bakery and sit right next to Bread-Tin Ned!! Australiana at it’s best?? I’ll leave that to you to decide!!

In reply to river.

Bedourie DOES sound very Valentino, River!! The camel races there (and the young station workers who competed in the woodchopping events afterwards) were one of the best travel experiences I’ve had!! I’m not sure what that says about me 😀 Let me know the name of the song when you’ve remembered it!!

In reply to Kathy Marris.

It’s amazing how many small towns have cool attractions, Kathy! AND some are even world exclusives! I tried to pick out some of the less known towns for this post – I guess that means I succeeded, haha!

In reply to Bob Carlson.

HHHMMMmmm … you ask such TOUGH questions, Bob! But could it be – although it hardly seems possible – that you’ve got MORE PEOPLE?? No, wait – it couldn’t possibly be that simple!!!
