Central Murray

33,819 km²

Central Murray is a vast rural area that has remained largely stable in its character over the last decade. It is a sparsely populated region where the landscape dominates the way people live and move. Much of the community relies on cars to get around, as few homes are within walking distance of essential services. The area is defined by its openness and a population that is generally smaller than in similar regional hubs.
