Murray Bridge

1,926 km²

A significant gap in accessibility defines Murray Bridge compared to the rest of South Australia. This regional centre serves as a key hub, though it remains mostly car-dependent for daily needs. It is a diverse community where First Nations people make up a notable part of the population, with over 1,200 residents. While it provides essential services for its large land area, many homes are far from the shops and parks that define more walkable towns.
