Laura Bay

84 km²

Sparse coastal landscapes define Laura Bay, a very small settlement in South Australia with only 11 residents. It is an exceptionally old community, where the typical person is 64, far older than the national figure. Because the population is so small and the area is largely non-residential, it lacks basic services and schools. This is a quiet, car-dependent place where residents live in small households and earn well below the typical Australian income.
