Willie, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion too quickly.  According to Frommer's
"Australia 2006" (which I recently bought for my wife) Broken Hill is a community
of 21,000, a good 500 kilometers west of the middle of nowhere.  Seems to me 
that vandals in a place like that would stick out like a sore thumb, and would
have a hard time running away.

If I ever won the Powerball, I'd buy or build a station and move it
into one of the Art Deco-inspired buildings we've been talking about...

Sigh... ;-)
