Dalby

28 km²

A sharp lack of public transport sets Dalby apart from the rest of Queensland. This Western Downs town is a practical hub where most residents can easily walk to groceries, schools, and health services. While the town center is convenient, the broader community faces challenges in employment and education for its First Nations people. It remains a regional center where daily life is driven by local accessibility rather than transit networks.
