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.
I miss living in the state capital.
The last place I had before I returned to the country was about 2 kilometres from the local shopping centre.
Multiple supermarkets, department stores, hardware stores, video game stores, cheap shops, fast food outlets, petrol stations... It was absolute bliss.
