Arafura Sea vs Boigu Island

Boigu Island and Arafura Sea are two remote areas of Queensland. Boigu Island is home to 199 people, including 189 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In contrast, Arafura Sea is largely non-residential with a population of 0. Because of this, Boigu Island has far larger numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents compared to Arafura Sea.

Both areas are similarly lacking in local infrastructure, as neither has any schools, public transport routes, or transport stops within 3 km. While Boigu Island has far higher street connectivity than Arafura Sea, both areas remain effectively the same in these measures as they sit near the national figure for a lack of urban transport and schooling options.
