Re the courthouse. When we were out there a few years back we read that it still operates one day a year- the day after the races! Our niece was one of the police who attended during that time of the year. Accidentally drove up the top of little red on full pressures, thinking the road continued over and did a u-turn in our MU-X at the top and drove back down. We kayaked in the ponds around the town just because we can say we did. We also went through Betoota on our way out but at that time it had not been reopened (gazetted town with zero population) so cannot wait to see that on your next episode.
