Morgan Williams believes he struck gold when he and his young family packed up their beachfront home in Perth and moved 100 kilometres inland to York.
Whereas it was once the discovery of actual gold deposits nearby that lured people to Western Australia's oldest inland town, now it's riches of another kind that are behind the town's population influx — good jobs, an enviable country lifestyle, and affordable housing.
It's a trend occurring all around the country, as a growing number of Australians move further inland and further away from coastal capital cities, according to the latest official snapshot of regional migration.
