I don't live in a capital city, yet it's still close to 7 figures, I live on its outskirts however I work in a 4000km2 area across Melbourne and what I do for work requires industry (apprentice industrial electrician)
Most people can't just up and move to further regional areas, because their work is based around capital cities, some of our guys want to move into regional VIC but there's no work for them, you need large infrastructure, or industry to have the roles that we do.
There's a tiny bit in regional areas with food processing but they don't usually have the demand for what we do, they usually have one or two guys per operation.
Which means we're tied to either living in capital cities or on their outskirts.
No doubt there's probably hospitality work and other bits and bobs further regional but you still won't be getting decent enough wages to buy something.
Edit: Shepparton has a little bit of industry and a few roles
