7.42 Economic isolation at Nomad. During 1980-82, Nomad officers owned a new yellow truck, which they drove around the station and for several miles up the spur of a single road. By 1998, the road had washed out and the truck had broken down and had not been replaced; the Nomad Station had no motor vehicles. As a monument to their economic isolation, people buried the broken truck upside-down, tail in the air, in the main grounds just outside the government station house.
