I know Terowie quite well. I lived 16 Klms from Terowie for 12 years. Most of the population there are unemployed - the power meter reader told me about 70% of the houses have had their power disconnected from not paying power bills. There is so much rubbish including wrecked cars laying around in the yards. If residents cleaned up their act maybe the local council might do something about improving the town. One thing I guess you can by a house for around $35,000. It's an area you certainly keep everything under lock and key. Quite often at night we would hear vehicles stop outside our hobby farm. Turn on 4 500 watt floodlights and they disappear rather quickly. If you do happen to visit Terowie make sure everything is locked up tight. Also there is no mains water. Every one relys on rain water or bore water. We had problems with water going missing. The last 4 years our apples would be nearly ripe and would go to Adelaide for a day and when we would get home the apple trees would be stripped. Not an apple in site. Last year the pear tree was stripped also. Terowie is under Peterborough district council. If you look at Peterborough it's not much better then Terowie.
