This lovely, unspoiled "Valley of the Crooked River" throws open the door to pristine golden ocean beaches for surfing, diving and safe bathing, sub-tropical rainforest, quaint historic townships of the hinterland and lazy winding rivers for relaxed fishing or just puttering about in a boat.

Nambucca offers the peaceful alternative of small, friendly towns with all the amenities but without the big-town feel. The region's many attractions are all within a short pleasant drive of the Pacific Highway as it passes through the foothills of the Great Dividing Range which reaches right to the coast in this fascinating valley.

Sample the many delights of the beautiful diverse Nambucca Valley. Meet its friendly folk. You'll want to stay a while!

This is an area where you can relax and forget the stresses of city life. Enjoy a round of golf, a game of tennis or bowls, paddle a canoe, try out snorkelling or diving or chance your luck with a fishing line. We've got mountains to climb, rainforests to explore and miles of clean, uncrowded beaches where the surf welcomes and the sand is so clean it squeaks beneath your feet!

If arts, crafts and history are more your thing we have galleries and museums to satisfy your needs. Heritage hotels crowd the main streets in the region which makes a pub crawl an educational as well as enjoyable few hours.

Before you return home stop by the V Wall - an outdoor gallery where visitors are encouraged to leave a message on giant boulders lining the breakwall.
