Alstonville

Among the towns of New South Wales, Alstonville stands out for its position on the fertile Alstonville Plateau in the Northern Rivers hinterland. The settlement lies inland from the Pacific coast, where volcanic soils have long supported orchards, macadamia groves and other agriculture. Remnants of the Big Scrub, the extensive subtropical rainforest that once covered much of this district, survive in protected areas around the plateau. Alstonville remains a practical local centre for the surrounding rural communities, with Ballina and the coast nearby.
