OUR TOWN
Sitauted not far from
Kyogle, the name of this small town commemorates the 'bunawblu' or
bloodwood trees, which grow in this region, and helped establish the
early timber industry. The little town was established in 1910 and as
'The heart of the Upper Clarence', provided services for the
surrounding timber, dairying and cattle-grazing industries. As well as
small town services, there is a community centre, and several old
timber churches. There are many picnic and camping areas in the
adjacent Richmond Ranges.
