DesertDaisy Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) My dh is going for an interview next week. One of the things he has to do beforehand is choose which of a number of towns he would like to work. Except we have never heard of these places! Your input would be valuable! Where are they, what are they like?AlbanyBunburyGeraldtonKalgoorlieNorsemanBroomeCollieHedlandMandurahPinjarra Edited May 3, 2006 by DesertDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I could have gotten a job in Kalgoorlie, but then I read they had the most brothels per capita in Oz, and seeing that I am happily married, I declined and came to the town of wine and pasta, for which I have more use than brothels. But I have never been there, a wee bit too far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcatcher Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi there, Kalgoorlie is the only town in Australia that has legal brothels(3), but these are merely tourist attractions. The town itself is very far removed from the type of picture this fact likes to paint. It is a community that values its history but embraces modern life with a balance that is unusual. If you ever get the chance to visit, please do so. You will be pleasantly surprised! GreetingsDreamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
