Perfikot didn't stay long in Railway Town; she merely accepted the mayor's invitation the next day, immersed herself in the town's performances, and after experiencing what it felt like to be a female bandit, she left Railway Town.
This immersive experience also solidified Perfikot's belief that the Northern Territory lacks the foundation to support large-scale tourism development.
Perhaps the emergence of such a theme park-style town is acceptable, and its special location along the railway can attract enough foot traffic, but this is not something that every town can replicate.
Not to mention, just having another similar town along the railway is enough to crush this business model, causing neither town to receive enough visitors.
After all, there's a roughly fixed number of passengers on the railway, and their spending capacity is also limited.
One town might be feasible, but two towns could empty their wallets and make them lose interest.
