Infrastructure and services tend to be concentrated in urban areas, but housing is easier to access in rural zones.

Hahn (1999) reported that giving the thermal comfort zone for temperate-region adult cattle as being in the range 5–15 °C. McDowell (1972) noted that significant changes in feed intake and numerous physiological processes do not occur in the range 5–25 °C. However, the thermal comfort zone is influenced by a range of factors, and is much higher in tropical breeds…

escape as told to her daughter Doris Pilkington Garimara, who would later write the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996). This book itself is considered a touchstone for the stories of so many people from the Stolen Generations (Macqueen and McDowell, 2014).
