Just guessing, Cessnock, Narrabri, Cunnanmulla, Longreach, Cloncurry, Charleville, Forbes, Lightning Ridge, Musselbrook, Roma, Moree, Cobar, Gladstone, Walgett, Charters Towers, Ingham, Cooktown.
I did cheat with the Atlas, no doubt some of these towns have a footy team.

Yeah Cobar's got a team ... dunno about the rest, though.

Yes - the Ipswich cats and RAAF Eagles merged to form the Ipswich Eagles, but I understood they played out at Amberley airbase. If so, there is no club in Ipswich anymore. Besides, I'm not so sure the old Cats home ground isn't just inside Brisbane City bounds anyway !

Goulburn and Casino I just thought of - they're both 20-30 k at least aren't they? Goulburn folded a few years ago, did Casino ever have a team?
I think Gladstone have a team in the Capricornia AFL, but they and Cobar are the only ones that I think have clubs. Muswellbrook are trying to reform and join the Tamworth AFL last I heard.
How many people in Ipswich?

Last year Ipswich didn't play at Amberley, and I think they're moving to the big playing fields in the middle of Ipswich this year.
Bunch of f***in boguns they are.

Casino hadn't had a club, but on the 'pedia boards someone recently alluded to them starting a club for this year :
"But I did hear that Casino are organised, and have been training two nights a week for the last month, with the league team so they will tackle hard."

Over 100k and only 1 aussie rules club? What is this, some redneck dump in Queensland?
nb No insult intended, comment made in jest.

Why jest? It's completely true. They do field three sides though.

Three senior sides, or two seniors and unders?

Seniors and reserves in Second Division and the third side plays in Fourth Division. I'm pretty sure they have juniors up to U18's too.
