As someone who has lived in rural Australia - they barely service anywhere outside of metro areas.
My brother lives just an hour from a major regional city (population 150k), on the outskirts of a relatively large town, only a five min drive to a large post office that serves tens of thousands of people. He still doesn’t get mail delivery and has to pay for a PO Box.
In fact - the private couriers offer far better service for his address.
I’m not denying your story, I lived in rural SA for a long time and saw the services get peeled away.
But I stand by my broader point of what should be the case, because it’s certainly not what is.
