The Remoteness of Western Australia

The Remoteness of Western Australia

“One of the signs of remoteness, is where they keep sliced bread in the freezer section at the shops, and flour is bought bulk. The range of breakfast serials is ‘weet-bix’ and ‘corn-flakes’. Some shops sell their groceries over there near the household goods, the cassettes (country and western) the books (deadwood dicks, motor-car magazines, and the like), and then the farm equipment, and out the back is the barbed wire”–wendykrieger
