Murgon

580 km²

Steady growth and a rural layout define Murgon, a country town in the South Burnett region of Queensland. The area remains largely car-dependent, with many homes situated far from shops and parks. It is a place where a small First Nations population lives, with a typical age of 23 that is younger than the national figure. This creates a community that balances its traditional rural roots with a youthful energy in some of its resident groups.
