Kalkee Wail

Kalkee and Wail are both sparsely populated areas in Victoria.

Typical weekly household income is also far higher in Kalkee at $2,250, while Wail is much lower at $1,312. This contrast extends to the workforce, as 80.6% of adults in Kalkee are working or looking for work, compared to 56.4% in Wail.
