Onslow

14 km²

Higher typical incomes for First Nations households set Onslow apart from many similar areas. It is a small town in the Ashburton region where the local First Nations community is notably older than the national figure. While the area is somewhat walkable, it lacks the public transport links found in most of Western Australia. This mix of high First Nations household earnings and a strong connection to traditional languages gives the town a distinct identity.
