Tenterfield - Jubullum Village
7,324 km²
Daily life in Tenterfield - Jubullum Village is largely dependent on cars, as very few homes are within walking distance of shops or schools. This vast rural area is defined by its isolation and a significant gap in living standards for its First Nations community. While it covers over 7,000 square kilometres, the village centre remains the primary hub for a population facing tough economic challenges. It is a place where basic amenities are far apart and many residents live well outside the reach of a short walk.
