Zero homes in Bedourie are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, creating a stark gap in a place where many other daily needs are close by.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

3.4
Mostly car-dependent of suburb / locality areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
3.8
Higher than 76% of suburb / locality areas.
