Derrinallum Willaura

Willaura (L) and Derrinallum (L) are both sparsely populated rural areas in Victoria.

Willaura (L) also has a far higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (76.9% vs 65.0%) and significantly better access to health services, with 99.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to 0.0% in Derrinallum (L).
