Woodburn: Airforce Beach

Woodburn is best known within New South Wales for its position on the Richmond River, a broad tidal waterway in the Northern Rivers district. The town developed as a river port, and its low-lying streets still reflect the close relationship between settlement, farming country and the river. Sugar cane is an important part of the surrounding agricultural landscape, with the Broadwater Sugar Mill operating nearby. Woodburn stands on Bundjalung Country and is associated with the annual Woodburn Cup race meeting, a longstanding local occasion. More a working riverside town than a coastal resort, it has connections to the beaches and estuaries around Evans Head.

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.
