Few things are more secluded than March, a small rural community in New South Wales where every single home is a separate house. It is a place of large family properties and high incomes, with a population of 118 people. The area is strongly skewed towards older residents and young children, creating a quiet, residential atmosphere. With almost no recent arrivals and a total lack of public transport, it is a deeply car-dependent pocket of the state.

Household incomes here are high, yet March's schools draw a notably less advantaged community.
