Nambucca Heads

Fast facts

Coastal holiday town much loved by locals and visitors alike

Set on a headland at the mouth of the Nambucca River

512 km north of Sydney, population 6,200

Why go there

Nambucca Heads is one of the prettiest towns on the coast, where surf beaches and riverscapes, hills and long, flat stretches of bush and sand dunes combine to glorious effect.

The towns popularity as a holiday destination is celebrated in the Vee Wall, a breakwater on which holidaymakers have recorded their impressions with colourful and often irreverent wit.

History

Before European settlement the Nambucca area was inhabited by the Gumbaynggir and Dainggatti peoples. Cedar cutters were followed by sawmillers but it was not until the 20th century brought the railway line and the Pacific Highway that the town began to flourish as a leisure destination.
