You mean to live out there permanently? Like to retire and live in the country, or the Outback? Land must be cheap out in the wilderness.

I'd like to, logistically it may not be possible. There's loads of small towns though. Land is cheap enough, it's the services that cost, sewer, water and power although there's options for those I guess, if one has the money.
I think, realistically, it may be a situation where we need to move somewhere small, a small town, but into an established property rather than simply finding a parcel of land and trying to make it work.
I like the Moonta area as below but there's others.

Holy cow! The prices there are insane. lol.. A little bitty house for 300 to 500,000! You can get a nice bank owned or fixer upper in most parts of the U.S. for 10 to 30 grand.
I like your plans though, a nice, small town would be very cool if you couldn't be totally in the country by yourselves.

Yes sir the prices are mind-blowing. I don't know how most people can afford a house! I might have to live in an RV if I was there.

Yes, and that is a country location; Nearer the city it is much higher. The average 3 bedroom house in the greater Adelaide metro area sells at $430,000 as of today. A lot huh? Not as bad a Sydney or Melbourne though.

That's incredible. You could buy a near mansion for that here, especially a fixer upper. With acreage! Is there a chronic shortage of houses there?

There's no shortage...In places there's a glut in fact. The city (CBD) is full of apartment buildings constructed by Chinese consortium's with no concept of how Aussies want to live. Many remain vacant, whole buildings if 300+ apartments may have only 20% occupancy, all Chinese.
There's plenty of houses to go around, a lot of urban infill and developments in outlying areas, say, 20-25km from the CBD...There's no cheap houses though. In some of the worst suburbs $200,000 is about the basement for a 3br house. I mean suburbs where you don't want to go and you lock your car doors as you drive though...So yeah, pretty costly.
It's pretty interesting. That link I sent you will go a long way towards demonstrating it. You can trust type in Adelaide and then work your way outwards watching the price changes. There's also links to suburb flyovers (research suburbs) which will show demographics. As a former RE business owner you may find it interesting.
