This tiny outback town was dying until the locals stepped in to save it | ABC Australia

Mount Mary, a tiny South Australian town of 36 people, has a pub, a handful of houses and now an op shop, providing brand new opportunities to invite people in. Volunteers, including Karen Dreckow, have been working to restore their community hall for four years ahead of the op shop opening. Alongside local publican Donna Manders, who is passionate about activating her new rural home, Mount Mary looks like it has a bright future ahead.
