You don't get anything in the middle of Australia, because nobody lives or goes there. It is a desert.

The middle of Australia is, technically speaking, "a hellish wasteland devoid of life". Meanwhile here in the Bay Area I'm lucky to get gsm on my phone when at home.

That big dot with all the coverage right in the middle called "Alice Springs". That's where he lives.
