Homes for under 100k

Apparently Australia's population has ballooned to twenty four million.
But they don't live here.
Our hay day has been fed out to the sheep and cattle,
By ageing farmers.
Our preschool is now a pile of unused toys in the corner of three local halls.
Doctor?
He is accumulating hours for his pilots licence,
As he comes flying up from the coast.
Our lone policeman,
He of the states largest beat,
Can't go to the post office without his bullet proof vest,
Because it is also the pub.
He drives in his 4WD festooned with aerials,
But can't attend an incident. (without back-up from two hours away.)
Two families announce that they are leaving the area,
The school will have to make some drastic readjustments,
( and who knows what ramifications they will have.)
The specialty shop fronts, even in the larger towns are emptying.
How long will the local independent grocer hang on,
When the punters will go to Aldi on their next doctors visit?
(People don't get sick in time for the once a month flying visit.)
But the place is gorgeous.
The air and water are clean.
There is room to move,
And think...

And there are homes for sale for less than 100k.
