Woombah suburb profile

Woombah is a small riverside village in the Clarence Valley of northern New South Wales, sitting on the banks of the Clarence River near the river mouth and the coastal towns of Iluka and Yamba. The suburb has a relaxed, nature-focused character with riverfront reserves, pockets of bushland and quiet streets lined with weatherboard cottages, holiday homes and larger rural-residential blocks. Residents are a mix of locals, retirees and people who own weekend houses, drawn to boating, fishing and birdwatching rather than urban bustle. Most errands and services are handled in nearby coastal centres, while scenic river access and a slow pace define life in Woombah.
