In a scenic corner of Australia, you'll find a town that's just like any other small

town, really.

There are local sports teams, an ambulance service, a postal system, and notable, etc.

residents who are known for their colorful habits and attire.

There's even a jail for when things get out of hand.

But the residents of this town are a little different from the residents of most towns.

These residents, well, they're all garden knobs.

It truly is a very weird place, Nome's Hill.

It totally is something different to everybody.

Wimsicle, wacky, strange, creepy, even, creepy to some.

I'm not sure I'd like to be down there at night.

Nome's will be doing their own thing.

He knows.

I'm Dylan Thoris and this is Atlas Obscura, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible

and wondrous places.

And today, we're taking you to Metropolis.

We're Nome's Rule, a visit to Nome's Hill, after this.

Driving around the Ferguson Valley of Western Australia, you will pass miles and miles

of lush, rolling green hills.

They are dotted with cows and trees and bales of hay.

It's very pastoral and scenic.

That is until you come to a traffic circle, or the roundabout.
