Australian Traveller

SUNNY SIDE UP

FOR GENERATIONS, FAMILIES in New South Wales and southern Queensland have holidayed in the sleepy coastal town of Yamba. With a usual population of 7000, come Boxing Day each year it increases dramatically, as those in the know fill the town’s holiday home rentals, B&Bs, resorts, motels and caravan parks.

Bordered by national park, the Clarence River and no fewer than four beaches, the natural beauty of Yamba is something to behold. On the north coast of NSW, 670 kilometres from Sydney, and 300 kilometres from Brisbane, it’s an accessible spot for those looking for a relaxed place to unwind.
