I guess the other thing that Bordertown is famous or infamous for, is a former Prime minister was born there. His father was a mjnister and they lived in the manse from the time of his birth 1929 until 1935 when his father was moved to a bigger place.
Bob was known for being the "peoples prime minister. Before polotics he was involved with the trade union and was instrumental in bringing wage fixing to Australia.
A bust of Bob sits outside the district council office and the house where he lived in a small museum and there is a plaque outside declaring it Hawke House.
