      lol, I love that one ‘remote’ area is completely surrounded by endless ‘very remote’ area. I find this terrifying

      Has the Australian government tried to incentivize people to move into these remote areas?

      If Phoenix Arizona can support a large population, I don’t see why these inner areas of Australia couldn’t as well.

      I was re-reading Bill Bryson’s book on Australia (‘Down Under’ or ‘In a Sunburned Country’ depending on whether you are reading the UK/Ireland version or the US/Canada version) and he talks about this a lot and how Australia is this strange mix of big modern cosmopolitan cities and huge almost empty areas.

      I remember a reddit thread asking where the ‘outback’ starts. Seeing this makes me think that the red area here pretty much nails it at least for areas below the tropics. Further north and it might get a bit forresty, especially near the coast.

      This kind of illustrates the Australian dichotomy. At one end of the country you have some of the most affluent western life stylists on Earth. At the other end, it is still possible to meet indigenous people who can remember when their tribe made first contact with white people.

      I think this one is getting a bit old.

      The Karratha/Port Hedland/Newman triangle in NW Western Australia should be Remote Australia by now. Those are decent sized towns, there’s good ports and airports, and the number of people living in FIFO camps in the region actually brings the population density up to something reasonable.

      This makes sense.

      Australians get +3 housing in cities built in a coast due to John Curtin’s “Land Down Under” perk. It helps in the early game land rush.
