Guijar Islet vs Warraber Islet

Warraber Islet and Guijar Islet are neighbouring areas in the Torres Strait, but they differ completely in how they are used. Warraber Islet is a residential place where 274 people identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, while Guijar Islet is largely non-residential with no recorded population. This difference is reflected in the layout of the land, as street connectivity is far higher in Warraber Islet with 117 intersections per square kilometre compared to none in Guijar Islet.

These two areas have tracked the same path since 2011 by remaining very small and isolated. Neither area has any schools, public transport routes, or transport stops. Both places sit well below the national figure for these services, reflecting their remote location in the islands.
