A lady served me a burger and coffee at Windorah Roadhouse. I think I
remember the supermarket also had some limited fast food. I had a sit
down feed at the pub in a prior visit.
Was eaten alive by mozzies at Stonehenge (Qld) pub. The visitors centre
there (also a RTC and small supermarket) did coffee and cake. Last visit
there was a fly-in RFDS clinic in progress. Their plane was parked at
the airstrip.
Stayed at the Stonehenge farm (stay) in Vic near Bruthen. There is an
odd sight of 2 vans and a station wagon stacked on an inverted "U" frame
there.
I use Healthdirect for occasional hospital/chemist lookups. Activity on
FB walls is a far more accurate measure of other major use current
services. There is a lot of old data out there and dated references are
sorely needed. I have tagged a few RFDS clinic sites.
I tend to do mass data filterings in my head rather than rely on a
summary spiel. I seriously think that presenting summary info as an OSM
object is not a good idea and should be left to the data consumer to
calculate for a given area. A population qty tag would be one of inputs.
The concept of (size/services) hamlets, towns etc might even be dropped?
IMO of course!

Most useful to most, most of the time? Pubs? Source of refreshments

Windorah has one. Is the blind fellow still serving in the petrol
station?
Only one Pub in Stonehenge .. Queensland. The one in Tassie is a farm
.. no pubs etc.
Today medical services are scares. Might even have to list the regular
RFDS visits as being useful to some. Easier to find wielders .. the
bigger outback stations have them, oil/gas fields have mobile ones.
I did have to look up Birdun Northern Territory, most of the others
I've either been to or been past at some time. Somewhere I have a tee
shirt from Rabbit Flat (no longer there) and Giles (no longer allowed
to sell them)...
