Gilgandra

4,443 km²

A wide gap in accessibility and services separates Gilgandra from the state average. This rural New South Wales town is largely car-dependent, with many residents lacking easy walking access to essential amenities. It is a community where First Nations people make up a significant part of the population, though they face challenges with lower school completion and higher unemployment than the national figures. The town's landscape is very flat, but its layout makes it difficult to get around without a vehicle.
