North-East Kimberley

10,241 km²

A walkability score of just 0.5 makes North-East Kimberley an area almost entirely dependent on cars. This vast region is sparsely populated and lacks the infrastructure common in most towns. While the land is expansive, the community is small, with only 152 First Nations people residing here. It is a remote part of Western Australia where basic services are far apart and the landscape is more likely to be open bush than a street network.
