Colonia Nueva Australia
Australian immigrants founded Nueva Australia in 1893. Originally it was a socialist experiment, but in 1896 it fell apart, when it failed to meet expectations. When Stroessner came to power, the town was renamed Hugo Stroessner, after the dictator's father on some maps.
There are several hotels and restaurants in Nueva Australia. The town is 110 km east of Asunción.
