Free local directory from Wentworth now covers every town in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Free local directory from Wentworth now covers every town in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific A free online directory built by Wentworth business Goblin Local Services now lists more than 280,000 local businesses and places across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands, from Mildura and Wentworth to Dunedin, Suva and Apia. Goblin Social (goblinsocial.com) lets anyone search a town or postcode and find cafés, pubs, tradespeople, places to stay and what's on nearby. This is particularly useful for travellers such as grey nomads and locals looking for solutions to their problems. Listings are rated by locals, who vote the best places up, and for Australian towns the site also shows the cheapest fuel prices of the day. The directory is also open to AI assistants. A growing number of people now ask an AI assistant such as GrokBot, Dots, Gemini and so on, to find a plumber or a place to eat, and Goblin Social gives those assistants a way to find small local businesses that are often missed. Founder Pete Trevathan said the directory grew out of a long-held belief about how AI can provide Abundance for ordinary people. "I've been involved in AI development since the 1990s, so I have a long history, and I've always believed that AI done properly will usher in the age of abundance for people from every walk of life, including helping with day to day challenges, home care and so on," Mr Trevathan said. "To that end I've built a system that I hope will benefit everybody, and we will continue to build on it and improve it into the future." Local businesses can claim their listing for free to add their hours, services and photos. It is particularly important that they add their services so locals can connect to solve their problems. Goblin Local Services is a registered business in Wentworth, NSW (ABN 11 413 264 510).
