Australian postcode 5341 is centred on Waikerie and the surrounding Riverland communities of South Australia, providing a relaxed rural lifestyle closely connected with the Murray River and a strong agricultural economy based particularly on horticulture, vineyards, citrus, grapes and irrigated farming. The 2021 Census recorded 7,914 people across the postal area, with a median age of 44, and relatively low housing costs at that time—a median weekly rent of $200 and median household income of $1,193. Waikerie is the main service centre, with local healthcare, supermarkets, pharmacy, government services and other everyday facilities, while the river provides boating, fishing and recreational opportunities.

Overall, 5341 is a good example of a small regional service centre supporting a dispersed agricultural population, with the Murray River and irrigated farming giving it a very different character from many of the inland Australian postcodes you have been examining.
