So many smaller towns depend on tourism, but also the residents mostly hate tourists at the same time. Depending on tourism for your sustenance is a highly fragile economy dependant on international flight and folks with essentially what i call too much money. Whatever those towns did before tourism, they can do again, if they can remember. It might be just to be poorer but a steadier existance. Tourism tends to make places more generic eventually, destroys actual local culture and replaces it with a fake thing rigged for seasonal money. Screw tourists. Much love from OR

I see that the bikini is now a trikini.

Trust the modest Aussies to not offend us.
