A mail questionnaire was sent to a sample of residents of six towns in northern New South Wales located along a transect from the coastal zone to the far west The nature of the respondents' journeys and their distance was considered alongside their attitudes towards car travel. From east to west along the transect, an increasing sense of isolation was evident but with differing manifestations. Immunity from economic change was not associated with isolation. Displacement from the more obvious environmental attributes of the coastal zone appeared to promote a greater sense of community and friendship in the more isolated western regions
