Any chance for a population explosion in the top northern quarter of
Australia?

Australia's immigration intake now stands at around 140,000 a year. But
there are plans to up this level to 250,000 in the near future.

One of Australia's largest cities is Adelaide, with a pop. of just over 1
million. So, every 4 years we'll get a population increase to fill a city
the size of Adelaide.

Maybe most of the immigrants will deceide to live in the north and build a
new city every 4 years? Don't hold your breath, most of the immigrants will
arrive in Sydney or Melbourne, and that's where they'll stay.
