Upper Murray

18,641 km²

Upper Murray has seen its population shift slowly since 2011, remaining a vast and sparsely populated region of New South Wales. It is a place where most people rely on cars to get around, as homes are spread far apart across a massive landscape. The community is modest in size and mostly rural in character, with a strong connection to the land and a low-density way of life.
