Macksville

Built around a crossing of the Nambucca River, Macksville grew into the commercial centre of the Nambucca Valley on New South Wales's Mid North Coast. River transport and the cedar trade helped shape the early settlement, while the surrounding valley has long supported farming. The Macksville Gift, an annual professional footrace, continues a traditional Australian form of professional racing. On Gumbaynggirr Country, Macksville sits upstream from Nambucca Heads, where the river reaches the Pacific coast.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
