Banana

28,550 km²

Spanning over 28,000 square kilometres of the Queensland interior, Banana is a vast, rural landscape. It is a largely car-dependent region where homes are spread far apart from essential services. The area is defined by its immense scale and a population that relies heavily on vehicles to get around. Despite its size, the region supports a First Nations community that is younger and more employable than those in many similar areas.
