Australian town without a hairdresser is on an internet search for one
For an Australian town, a simple number three on the sides and a bit off the top means a long trip through the outback.
That's because Blackall in Queensland doesn't have anyone to cut people's hair, something that Mayor Andrew Martin only noticed recently.
"Not being a hairdresser attendee for some considerable amount of time I was totally unaware of the fact that Blackall has no hairdresser," Martin wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday.

It's why Martin has used the Internet to find a hairdresser for the town. Currently, if you wanted a chop, you'd need to travel more than 100 kilometres away (62 miles) to the town of Tambo, according to ABC News.
"I mean it's a pretty basic requirement, haircuts and hairdos," Martin told the publication. "Kids need haircuts, the ladies need their hair done, even me, I need a buzz cut every now and then. It's an essential service and I'm just amazed that we've found ourselves without one,"
Martin has received plenty of interest for his proposal, but no takers as yet, despite the council being "very keen" to help as much with the re-establishment of a hairdresser in the town.
