The post-pandemic world is full of unknowns. However, one emerging trend is a move to the country. Last year 233,000 people moved to regional Australia, a record according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. ABS data released this week shows the trend is continuing with 66,000 fleeing the cities in the March quarter.
