The new owner will serve as the Australian town’s postie, publican, cook and shopkeeper

In the heart of outback Queensland, more than 800km west of Brisbane, sits a town with its own postcode and exactly two residents. Now, the entire population of Cooladdi is packing up – and the town is officially on the market.
