100 Towns
Podversations
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and specifically the 2016 census, about 71% of Australians live in major cities – that is, cities with a population of 100,000 or more. Just under 10% - or around 2.3 million Australians - live in places that are officially designated as small towns where the population is 10,000 or fewer.
In this podcast series, we are going to visit 100 of these small towns – in fact, we are going to focus our attention on those that are located more 100 kms from a state or territory capital and where the population is fewer than 5000.
We want to chat to a local – someone who has lived in our featured town for over 10 years and can tell us about their town and their region. And in keeping with the support provided by our podcast supporter – Pub Radio Australia – we have decided that the best person to chat to in each town is the owner or manager of one of the pubs in town.
