Geraldton, a city of more than 25,000 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldton>, is only now getting decent 
telecom's. Wollombi, a town of less than 300 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollombi,_New_South_Wales> has had a fibre 
connection for years.

What a difference political influence (and proximity to Sydney) make.

The nearby defence facilities make Geraldton's circumstances doubly 
surprising.
