Language in Gowrie

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 82.2% of residents, though 15% use another language at home—a figure that is much higher than in most similar areas. This diversity is reflected in the use of Arabic, Italian, Cantonese, and Tagalog, while the 1.1% who speak little or no English is a little below the national average.
