Cobberas vs Wulgulmerang

Wulgulmerang and Cobberas are both sparsely populated areas in East Gippsland. Wulgulmerang is home to 18 people, while Cobberas is largely non-residential with no residents. The terrain differs significantly, as the mean slope in Cobberas is far higher at 27.9% compared to 10.1% in Wulgulmerang. In Wulgulmerang, a small share of homes—3.0%—are within a 15-minute walk of a park, whereas no homes in Cobberas have this access.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no residents living within walking distance of schools, groceries, health services, or public transport. This lack of local amenities is common to both, and they each have no recorded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which is similar to the national figure for many small areas.
