With just 316 residents and only one road, a tiny town in the outback has been revealed as the cheapest place in the county to buy a home.
The median price for homes in the dusty mining community of Andamooka, 600km north of Adelaide, is just $20,000 - less than the cost of a new Holden Astra Sedan.
The figure pales in comparison to the median price of $821,438 in Australia's most expensive city, Sydney.

The median price for homes in the dusty mining community of Andamooka (pictured), 600km north of Adelaide, is just $20,000 - less than the cost of a new Holden Astra Sedan. House prices in the town are almost entirely dependent on the health of the mining industry in the Roxby Downs nearby
Adamooka (pictured), which has just 21 days of rain each year, was established as an Opal mining settlement in the 1930s. The earliest miners lived in rough dugouts driven into the side of a slope - and many homes there now are simple structures on stumps built into hills

In third place is the town of Curlwaa on the New South Wales-Victoria border where the median price is $30,000.
