I live in the city. It's convenient. There are like 3 supermarkets within a radius of less than 100 meters and a few smaler grocery stores. There are also several lifestyle and utility businesses like restaurants, brothels and drug stores etc.
You do not need a car to survive.
Obviously not where you live, mate.
But when you live in rural South Australia, having a car in a necessity. 
Yeah the location does make a difference. I live in a suburb in Melbourne and I have following within 5 mins walk:
3 supermarkets (Aldi, Woolworths and Coles)
Jetts gym
Restaurants of 4 different ethnic cuisines (Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and Chinese)
KFC, Dominoes, Hungary Jacks, Nandos and smaller fast food shops and Kebab houses)
Tram line
Other small utility shops and ethnic grocery stores (Sri Lankan, Chinese et al.)
But Aus is a huge country and I can understand how far supermarkets could be for those who live in rural areas.
