My mum was born in Broken Hill, many stories have been told of a once thriving dusty old place but it had been alive. I have lived in 3 different states in Aus and moved often for affordable rental and work. It's become impossible for many now. I should be retired by now, but work for rent so I have a decent roof over my head. I'm not that far from Broken Hill, 6 weeks in another town, and people are not friendly like when I was young. Forget welcome to country, there's no longer welcome to the neighbourhood, our town, people don't have time anymore or trust?

Funny how so many trusted the gov or science but closed the door on their own kind. Yes I believe Covid changed us all nowhere was untouched. My family will never be the same as I am sure is the way it is with most of us.

BTW Broken hill was one of the cheapest places to buy a run down old place but even that is out of reach now.

Lucky country? No we were lied to.
