Cherwell

145 km²

Sparse landscape and a lack of local services define Cherwell, which is a largely non-residential area of Queensland. With only 10 people living across 145.3 square kilometres, the area is mostly open space. The few residents live in very large households, which helps explain why the typical home holds far more people than the national figure. It is a remote setting where a car is essential for every trip.

Despite high local incomes, the area's schools serve a less advantaged intake.
