Australia: even more empty than you imagine

Re: Bumper Sticker?

I’m surprised to see that Australia’s experience seems to mirror Britain’s. With overcrowded popular metropolitan regions and empty, literally it seems in Australia’s case, rural landscapes.

Britain’s 60 million plus population could very comfortably fit into the country but most of the economic activity is concentrated in the south east. Even with distances considerably smaller than on the Australian scale, commuting between the regions is impractical for most people. A more even spread of this economic activity is an issue successes British governments have been trying to, unsuccessfully, address since the 1970’s.

I can only imagine this would be even more challenging in Australia vastness
