A diverse mix of people call Burdekin home, including a First Nations community with a typical age of 25. The region is spread across a huge area of nearly 5,000 square kilometres, making it very car-dependent for daily life. Most residents live far from shops, schools, and health services. This creates a landscape where a vehicle is essential to access the few amenities available.
