SYDNEY -- Australia's city dwellers are fleeing to suburbs and rural towns that offer easier access to nature, a trend accelerated by the pandemic-induced shift to teleworking.
A four-bedroom house new on the market in Killcare, a roughly 90-minute drive from Sydney, has garnered strong interest despite an asking price of 1.7 million Australian dollars ($1.31 million). Its charms include a view of the beach from higher ground.
