Whether you’re considering a tree change or are happy where you are, you’ll be interested to know that there are 21 regions in Australia where baby boomers are doing better than most.
In fact, the Regional Australia Institute says it’s time to throw away the term “baby boomer” and replace it with “super boomer” based on this cohort who are choosing to spend their Third Age in regional Australia.
The Institute has identified the 21 most rapidly ageing regions in Australia and divided them into three categories:
The light blue regions, which include Mildura in Victoria, and Bunbury in Western Australia, are the places where boomers are really thriving.
This is defined by the Institute as having opportunities to continue working, to pas on knowledge and skills through volunteering, and staying healthy, active and engaged with their community.
