SynopsisFrom dusty desert sh*tholes to free-range bogan breeding grounds, to the bin-chicken playgrounds of our megacities, Sh*t Towns of Australia is a guide to the concrete, fibro, and methamphetamine wastelands that we like to call home. From Coober Pedy to Canberra, from Ballarat to Broken Hill, from Logan to Launceston, Sh*t Towns takes us through the veritable f*ck-ton of crappy towns and cities that make up the "Lucky Country"--profiling all the best places not to visit or, heaven forbid, live. The 60 towns and cities reviewed in this volume have been carefully selected using an exacting set of scientific criteria developed at the prestigious University of Nimbin, combined with extensive field research, a desire to offend, and where possible a sense of humor., The hilarious guide to the shittest towns in Australia.
