Megan Never Never

Megan and Never Never are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ in how they are used. Megan is a sparsely populated area with 168 people, while Never Never is effectively non-residential with a population of zero. Megan is more developed, with three schools within 3 km and 10 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, while Never Never has none of either. The land in Megan is also steeper, with a mean terrain slope of 13.7% compared to 8.7% in Never Never.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, health services or groceries. This shared lack of local amenities is consistent across both places, regardless of Megan's larger population and slightly better street connectivity.
