The town that's got everything - except people

Residents of Kaitangata, a small town on the South Island of New Zealand with a population of about 800, have launched a recruitment drive for new residents. Businesses and town authorities have teamed up to offer employment and home-buying packages on extremely favourable terms. They're hoping city-dwelling New Zealanders might be tempted to up sticks and start a new life in the Clutha district, where there are estimated to be more than 1000 job vacancies waiting to be filled.
