Abstract

Australia is a nation of suburbs. The vast majority of Australians live in the subregions of our principal metropolitan areas. Even those of us moving to so-called ‘sea change’ regions outside the big cities want to live in transplanted suburban estates. For most of us, an oil change is a more pressing prospect than a sea change.
