Bowraville Festival

The Bowraville Festival is usually held in October  in the beautiful sunny Nambucca Valley on the Mid North Coast.

THE 2010 EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED, AS OF 9 AUG. 2010. The committee was unable to satisfy the OH&S, safety and child safety issues required by council. We regret this cancellation and hope you will still come and visit us.

Drives in the Local Area

Virtually any road leading out of Bowraville takes the visitor through spectacular forest countryside where it is possible to see giant tree ferns, cedar trees, fig trees, stag horns, kangaroo ferns, and a variety of eucalypts. Particularly attractive are the roads from Bowraville to Bellingen (See NOTE - BELOW) and from Bowraville to Taylors Arm, the home of the famous 'Pub With No Beer'.   

NOTE: UNFORTUNATELY THE FOREST ROAD FROM BOWRAVILLE TO BELLINGEN IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO FLOODING IN 2009

Dunggir National Park 

Dunggir National Park, located about 20km west of Bowraville, derives its name from the local Gumbaynggirr dialect and means ‘Koala'.

The park forms an eastern outlier for the Eastern Escarpment, and Bowra Sugarloaf is a prominent landscape feature within its boundaries.  Dunggir is one of a number of nature reserves in the Nambucca Valley, including Ngambaa, Juugawaarri, Ganay, Bowraville and Bollanolla, which offer outstanding views and picnic areas.

The Handmade House Tour

Each year, usually in October, the Tallowood Community School organises for a range of handmade houses in the Bellingen/Bowraville area to be opened to the public. For a modest fee visitors can inspect houses made from mud brick, rammed earth, wattle and daub, mud and sawdust packing and stone and wood construction. There is also an opportunity to inspect permaculture and solar energy uses.

For more information contact the school on (02) 6564 7619 or email tallow@nor.com.au.
