Suburb profile
Yantabulla is a welcoming smaller community in Bourke, with a settled community character. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here.
Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
