Island Lagoon Woomera

Woomera and Island Lagoon are two small South Australian areas with very different layouts. Woomera has 132 residents and is somewhat walkable, with 99.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and groceries. In contrast, Island Lagoon is largely non-residential with no population, no schools, and is described as car-dependent.

Both areas are similar in that they have no homes within a short walk of public transport or health services. This lack of nearby transport is a common trait across many remote parts of Australia. While Woomera has more street connectivity and a higher number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, both locations have a similar terrain slope.
