Selling a drum kit in Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier is built on limestone around a volcanic crater lake that turns vivid blue each summer, and the district around it is one of the largest softwood forestry and timber-processing regions in the country. Timber and trade work are the backbone here.
Driving is easy and the town is compact enough that any landmark works. It is a long way from either capital, so buyers travelling in usually want a firm time rather than a window.
On timber and trade equipment, ask whether it was used commercially. Forestry work here is hard on machinery, and a saw that has been on a work site has had a different life from one used at weekends.
Mount Gambier, in South Australia, has around 30,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Adelaide, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
