Australian town

Down-under municipality

A small to mid-sized settlement in Australia, typically featuring a main street with a pub, a general store, and not much else.

Australian towns range from coastal communities to remote outback settlements hundreds of kilometers from the nearest neighbor: We stopped in a tiny Australian town for petrol and meat pies.

Many have populations under a thousand and serve as service centers for surrounding pastoral stations.
