Robe's location has given the town several unique advantages in terms of tourism, firstly its distance from the major population centres of Adelaide ( 350kms) and Melbourne (550kms) has meant that the town has not been over run by tourism (yet) and the township has managed to preserve its character. There are none of the glitzy tourist traps and the local supermarket and restaurants don't load their prices for the tourists.
Its isolation also gives Robe the feeling you are really getting away from civilisation and the rat race, and to reinforce that feeling the last thirty minutes of the drive into Robe, you scarcely see a house or sign of habitation. Its much the same sort of feeling you get when you visit places like Cooktown or Broome with the exception that you can reach Robe (via car) within half a day from either Melbourne or Adelaide
