A lot has happened this year in Australia and around the world that it would be seemingly impossible to tally it all up in one article.
But if you've been following Sh*t Towns of Australia then you will have been keeping abreast of every weird, outrageous, stupid or ridiculous thing that has happened on our sun blessed country.
The Facebook page has collated some of the stranger stories that have popped up on the web and they have been quietly trying to crown the Sh*test Town of Australia for 2020.

*drum roll please*
After racking up the most amount of stupid stories, Townsville has received the coveted award.
It didn't receive the gong because of its landscape, restaurants or vibrant CBD, but because some people in the town have been caught doing terrible things.

According to the Facebook page, there have been youngsters holding up takeaway joints with screwdrivers and knives, a massive brawl erupted at a person's wake, female prisoners rioted after being punished for flashing contractors, a man's eyebrow was bitten off, a 'gronk' was jailed for throwing a goon sack at a police officer while riding a stolen bike...
The list goes on.
Coming in second to Townsville was Melbourne, who got silver for 'all that covid and lockdown stuff', as well as a champion race horse testing positive for cocaine and a person driving a car over a pedestrian stop at a train station.
Adelaide was third past the post with the pizza lad who caused the state to go into unnecessary lockdown, a hit-and-run driver allegedly throwing poo at police, a schoolgirl's hair being set on fire, a busker dressed as a pencil was bashed with his own ukulele and a 12-year-old managed to break into a bank.

Queensland's Logan and Ipswich came in fourth and fifth, making three areas in the Sunshine State as the sh*ttest places in Australia.
Victoria's Shepparton, NSW's Sydney, Queensland's Brisbane, Victoria's Rosebud and South Australia's Port Pirie rounded out the top 10.
It truly has been an outrageous year and there's no doubt 2021 will deliver us an equal amount of unbelievable stories.
