In this podcast, SBS Hindi explores life in regional Australia through voices from the Indian community. The discussion is based on the 2025 Global Liveability Index, which ranked Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide among the world’s top 10 most liveable cities, based on healthcare, education, and infrastructure. But how do regional towns compare? We speak to residents in Townsville, Toowoomba, Taree, and Newcastle about their everyday lives and the challenges they face, from access to services to a sense of belonging. Do the big cities still hold their appeal, or does regional life offer its sense of fulfilment?
