Cities and towns in the country

Country cities like Kalgoorlie, Albany and Bunbury are quite small and usually have populations ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 residents. These cities have most of the amenities found in a large city, as well as the benefits of country hospitality and a strong sense of community. There are usually a number of primary and secondary schools, government agencies, numerous shops and services, sporting facilities and leisure activities. 

Large towns like Northam, Broome and Karratha have populations ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 people. These towns usually have at least one primary school and secondary school, a variety of shops and services, restaurants and sporting facilities and numerous community groups.

Smaller towns such as Corrigin, Denham or Kununurra have a district high school, shops, essential services (eg police, medical, council, etc), pubs and an array of sporting facilities and community groups.
