'Ugly' Tasmanian town upset over Lonely Planet rating
Apparently Burnie is cited as a very ugly Tasmanian town by Lonely Planet.
I'm sure it has nothing on the old mining town of Zeehan near the West coast. There does not seem to be a decent looking house in the place - it all looks like cheap as chips mining houses thrown up in 50's or 60's.
But it does have a pretty good museum, in a couple of grand old buildings left in the middle of small town decay.

The Tasmanian Tourism Industry Council is so indignant that it is writing to the Lonely Planet.
Yes, a sternly-worded letter will solve everything.
Maybe they could make this label stick. 'Come to the Most Rather Ugly Town in Australia! See the Slightly Depressing Buildings!', etc. Works for me.
