There is a string of tiny settlements heading south of Calliope which lead to an equally small township called Builyan. There is Taragoola, Barmundu, Boynedale, Wietabba, Nargoorin, Ubobo and Littlemore, not a bad track if you want to leave civilisation behind and to leave heavy traffic for others to battle.
At the southernmost point of that byway is Builyan, the town that fought off Telstra and saved its telephone box. That may not seem a big deal to city slickers, but out here at Builyan, it was worth fighting for. At last check, the box was still there and working. If the phone call is that urgent, there is a shorter route, travelling from Miriam Vale, heading west and onwards to Monto.
