Lovely bit of Wikipedia for you: Bowen is a town on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Bowen has a population of 7,484
Bowen enjoys a diversified and prosperous economy based on agriculture, fishing, tourism, and mining. Bowen's unusually dry climate for a tropical location, plus its fertile alluvial soil, makes it the ideal place to grow a wide variety of small crops, including tomatoes, rockmelons (i.e., cantaloupes), and capsicums (i.e., green peppers). Outside the alluvial plain, much of the Bowen Shire is used for beef cattle.
I worked here for 3months on tomato and melon farms (Jergen, Turners and Marcos). Not much to report on Bowen, theres two pubs, one "club" a supermarket and some farms i think that sums it up.
