Rainbow Flat suburb profile

Rainbow Flat is a semi-rural riverside suburb on the north bank of the Macleay River in the Kempsey area, with a relaxed, country by the river feel. Housing is a mix of older weatherboard cottages and larger rural-residential blocks, and the neighbourhood attracts families, retirees and people who commute into Kempsey for work. Outdoor life revolves around the river and nearby bushland, with boating, fishing and riverbank walks popular. Everyday shopping, schools and health services are accessed in Kempsey, while the Pacific Highway and the nearby railway station provide regional links.
