Hall of Famer
I live in the southern suburbs, in what appears to be a relative deadzone in terms of spawns, pokestops, and active players.
As Crow-eater pointed out you have to go where the players are. I don't expect Perth players from the other side of town to go to where I live. The CBD is always a good bet for any Australian city. For the legendary raids yesterday I drove 10 minutes towards an area close to the city.
If you don't have the ability to do so - well, them's the breaks.
