I was reading about Millicent the other week - only a small town in SA around 5,000 people. The largest employer is Kimberly Clarke which have moved toilet paper production 24/7 to keep up with demand around the country.

The bizarre part of the story people were panic buying toilet paper at the shop in town ....

Why ?

Because the toilet paper from the factory 10kms out of town first has to get trucked 400kms to Adelaide then distributed and trucked 400kms back again before it ends up in the store.

I think there are many instances such as this.

I was once told the town water supply to Kununurra is piped from Wyndham. Lake Argyle is on their doorstep.
