Upper Murray

18,641 km²

A larger First Nations population than 81% of similar areas makes Upper Murray a distinctive part of New South Wales. It is a vast, rural landscape where a small number of people live across a huge area. Because it is so spread out, the community relies heavily on cars to get around. Life here is centered on a few small hubs, with a population that remains largely disconnected from the urban walkability found in other parts of the state.
