A coastal town in XXXX rimwards of Bugarup.
Renowned for a bonzer surfing beach, but beware of the coral reef, (especially if attempting to surf in a ballgown and high heels), and the home town of Petunia the Desert Princess. It also has a banana factory that employed Neilette before she took to the road with Letitia and Darleen.
