Six Mile Swamp vs Wyan

Wyan and Six Mile Swamp are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Wyan is very small with only 34 people, while Six Mile Swamp is largely non-residential with no recorded population. Wyan has a steeper landscape with a mean terrain slope of 6.9%, which is well higher than the 3.9% seen in Six Mile Swamp. There are also three Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Wyan, while none are recorded in Six Mile Swamp.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, health services, or groceries. They also share a similar lack of local infrastructure, with neither area having any schools within 3 km. This lack of nearby schooling puts both areas in a similar position compared to other areas of this type across the country.
