I've kinda wondered why that is in Australia. I've noticed that even the major non-capitals are all within 100k or so of their state capital (eg. gold coast, ss coast, newcastle, wollongong, geelong, fremantle) so i wonder if it's the 'security' of being near a state capital. Of course, Townsville is the exception.<br /><br />South Australia is the extreme case - Adelaide has about 1.2 million and then there's nothing until Mt Gambier in the 20,000s.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia_by_population" rel="nofollow">Aust cities by Population</a>davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223229241414391785noreply@blogger.com
