Jervis Bay

67 km²

Daily life in Jervis Bay is heavily reliant on cars, with very few residents able to reach shops or health services on foot. It is a sparsely populated area where the landscape is dominated by nature rather than urban centres. While some homes are within reach of schools and parks, most of the community must drive for their basic needs. This creates a quiet, spread-out character typical of the region's coastal and rural setting.
