The Australian Dream (Non-Fiction)

The Australian Dream

by The Betoota Advocate

After enduring fires, floods, pandemics, rising interest rates, $10 lettuces and another bin-fire of a federal election, many Australians are saying: 'We can't go on living like this.'

Rather than plugging away relentlessly in some soulless city, why not pack it all in and start afresh? With Byron, Hobart and Noosa now resembling the overpriced shitholes their new residents fled from, Australians are flocking to a NEW hotspot: the thriving metropolis of Betoota. Here, amid the cosmopolitan bustle of the French Quarter and the circular driveways of Betoota Heights, you can build the life you dreamed of, whatever that may look like. The Betoota Advocate is a small and independent regional newspaper from far west Queensland. We pride ourselves on reporting fair and just news with an authenticity that rivals only the salt on the sunburnt earth that surrounds us here in the Queensland Channel Country. Established in the mid-1800s, we are arguably Australia's oldest newspaper and have always taken pride in our ability to report both regional and metropolitan news. Recently, our popularity has grown immensely as result of a bold online revival.
