Cooya Pooya vs Hamersley Range

Hamersley Range and Cooya Pooya are both remote parts of Western Australia, but they differ in how they are populated. Hamersley Range has 197 residents, including 9 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, while Cooya Pooya is largely non-residential with a population of zero.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of local infrastructure, with neither having any schools or public transport routes and stops. This shared absence of services is a common feature for these two distant locations.
