While we were traveling in the caravan in 2004, we visited a Gold mining town in Western Australia, The town has two of the few legal brothels in Australia one of which has been in business since the 1800's
However many of the mine workers now have what is known as fly in fly out jobs where they work for maybe two weeks on two off, many go home while off work as a consequence, the brothels, in the area no longer have the clients , income they once had.
If you go into the tourist office in the town looking for tours , you more than likely will.be offered a tour of either the " old" brothel or the newer one
We went on the 2 hour tour of the old one and wheather you choose to believe the stories the madam tells you is up to you,we thought it was interesting, on the wide age group who "visit". The tour cost us $15 each
I personally don't have a problem with well run establishments.
