I was looking at https://profile.id.com.au/scenic-rim/population?WebID=160,
but https://www.abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/SAL32394
says 320 ? I guess that's "town" vs area?

Just reading the wiki on it, & it mentioned showgrounds & Post Office. What
do the presence of them do to the "relative importance" scale?

Thanks

Graeme
