Litchfield

2,957 km²

Spanning nearly 3,000 square kilometres of the Northern Territory, Litchfield is a sprawling rural area. It is a place where a significant First Nations community thrives with high employment and incomes. The region is vast and lacks central hubs, making it a car-dependent environment where most homes are far from shops and services. It offers a distinct mix of high-earning Indigenous residents and a landscape that is largely non-walkable.
