In-Depth Information
(Alice Town; to 3am) The health authorities had the original shack condemned, and
it's been replaced with a modern wooden unit. But the floor is still covered in sand, dogs
wander in and out, and you can add your scrawl to the graffiti-covered walls.
INFORMATION
There are public telephone booths all along King's Hwy. A small library is opposite the
customs building at the mail-boat dock.
