South Australia is home to many rural towns that have thriving communities looking to welcome new residents.

“A lot of people like it here (Port Pirie) because it is only two hours to Adelaide,” Mr Ganley said.
“At the moment the vacancy rate in our properties is extremely low.”

“We are still getting investors that are coming in buying these properties,” he said.
The real estate agent said he had seen an uptick in people putting transportable houses on rural land for “cheap and affordable rentals”.
