🚗 Car Dependent outdoor_lifestyle
Wyndham is one of Australia's most remote and unforgiving towns, perched at the top of Western Australia's Kimberley, where the heat buckles roads and five rivers meet the sea. Ancient boab trees, crocodiles, and a storied port history define the landscape. Federal pledges to revive the port have raised hopes, but chronic under-resourcing, alcohol-related social issues, and extreme isolation remain stubborn realities.
Buyers can expect a median price of $250k and rent of $395/week, 75% below the Perth metro median. Safety is a consideration, with the score of 1/100 trailing the metro average of 52 by 51 points. There are 2 schools nearby, rated 17/100 overall and below the Perth average. Residents have a median age of 36 and household income of $1,213/week.
