Koonibba

19 km²

A huge gap in basic services and income separates Koonibba from the rest of the state. This sparsely populated area is a place where First Nations culture remains strong, with many residents speaking traditional languages. However, it faces significant challenges, as most people earn far less than the national figure and have very limited access to shops or health services. The community is centered largely around its local school, which is the only nearby amenity for almost every home.
