Broome... nah, still has an international airport.

Go 'interior' for remote - Coober Pedy, Woomera; oh, they're near the railway. Andamooka?

Alice Springs!

A lot of us old farts know it from a TV miniseries or something many years ago. I only know that it is remote and has a good name.

Not unless its moved to the middle of winter.
You don't want to visit the Alice in our Summer.

Alice Springs is right in the middle of the interior, in consequence of which lots of radio astronomy goes there; I think it's also a NASA Deep Space Network site. There's also, I think, a USAF outpost there.

The Outback chicken dish, much as I like it, probably has nothing really to do with the name. :-)
