Higher Macdonald vs Womerah

Higher Macdonald and Womerah are both sparsely populated, largely non-residential areas in New South Wales. Higher Macdonald has a small population of 20 people and a terrain slope of 29.6%, while Womerah is entirely uninhabited with a much steeper average slope of 56.3%. It takes far longer to get to the city from Womerah, with a drive time of 456 minutes compared to 216 minutes for Higher Macdonald.

Both areas are almost completely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, parks, schools, or health services. This lack of accessibility is consistent across both places, and Higher Macdonald's count of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is around the national figure for areas at this level.
