Hillston
6 km²
A massive gap in public transport access marks the difference between Hillston and the rest of the state. This small town is very walkable for those on foot, with most homes within a short stroll of schools, health services, and groceries. It is a community where daily needs are close by, though the lack of transit connects it differently to the wider region. The town remains a practical hub for its residents despite being far from urban centres.
