There's a town in Australia which the residents have been advised to
abandon
but many won't. Even doctors refuse to visit there. Isn't that
something
awful to do with asbestos?

I'm sure that would be Wittenoom. Site of a blue asbestos mine IIRC
and they even used tailings to make driveways so the whole town is
awash with it and it's in a location where wind would constantly
spread the dust about. Don't think it's much of a town these days
though. I certainly won't be going to see it.
