Bullumwaal vs Ryans

Bullumwaal and Ryans are both sparsely populated areas in East Gippsland. Bullumwaal has 45 residents, while Ryans is largely non-residential with no population. Bullumwaal has more infrastructure and diversity, with one school within 3 km and seven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, while Ryans has none of these. The terrain also differs, as the slope in Ryans is far higher at 22.4% compared to 11.2% in Bullumwaal.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. This lack of local services is common to both, and they both sit near the national figure for public transport accessibility, as neither area has any active routes or stops.
