Suburb profile

Tara is a residential smaller community in Barkly with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with plenty of young families in the mix.

Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
