Windorah Qld and Ivanhoe NSW are both currently shown as "town" in

hotel, small primary school and service station. I couldn't buy a
coffee in either place last time I visited.
That is the general problem, most people want to inflate the
importance of a place so that it renders. Windorah has a population of
76 and Ivanhoe 202. If it's lucky Ivanhoe might rate a village but
Windorah is most firmly in the hamlet class.
Perhaps this apocryphal Ireland solution should be used? :-)
A house - building
A house and a church - hamlet
A house, a church and a pub - village
A house, a church and two pubs - town
