Coober Pedy in outback South Australia is kinda famous for all the cave and underground dwellings they have there. Plenty of room for the 'vette too, as well as big arse salt lakes to fang on to your hearts content.

its been a number of years but I'm having another new bad mail carrier thing going on..our driveway is about 100 feet long and a bit downhill..its paved and has never been a problem..the mail box is at the top but they cannot put packages in it..a note was on it yesterday that they were unable to deliver a package and that it would be waiting at the PO....we have never had that problem before as the normal mail people would drive down or walk down the package and leave at the front door...I went to the PO to get the package and actually talked to the delivery lady...30's in shape, blah blah...she told me she was not comfortable walking down the driveway or driving down as well..we chatted a bit and she refused to even budge...I gave her my phone # to call if she ever has another one and I'll meet her at the top in 10 seconds.... the PO is a 32 mile round trip

Next time remind her that she works for you and that your taxes pay her salary.

I can't believe you had to bargain with a federal employee just so you didn't need to drive into town.
