In every state of Aus. except one, more people live in the main city than
in the whole of the rest of the state. In Victoria for instance - Melbourne
3+ million, whole state 4.5 million. The exception is Queensland with a few
largish coastal cities. We tend to huddle. Must be all those crocs, snakes
and spiders out there in the Bush.
