Kyogle
3,552 km²
Daily life in Kyogle relies heavily on cars, as few residents can reach basic services on foot. The town is a rural hub in New South Wales where many homes are far from shops, parks, and schools. It is a place where local infrastructure is sparse and the landscape is noticeably steeper than the state average. This creates a community that is largely disconnected from the easy walkability found in more urban areas.
