On a road between Australia's most isolated town and its largest gold mine lies Coolgardie, where the arrival every three months of a new foreign backpacker couple is a much-anticipated event.

This was the doc that Kitty Green’s recent The Royal Hotel was based on. As nightmarish as The Royal Hotel was, a surprising amount was pulled directly from Hotel Coolgardie. It’s absolutely insane what happens to Lina at the end of this though, and I can’t imagine what a horrible experience that would have been.
