Bowraville, New South Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bowraville (30°37′S 152°51′E) is a town of more than 2500 people in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia in Nambucca Shire. The town was gazetted in 1870, and became the main centre of the Nambucca Valley. Its early industries were mainly timber and dairy, and the town eventually came to inherit the Nambucca Shire Council chambers. From about the 1950s, however, Bowraville began to decline in popularity and wealth. Nowadays, the town invites some tourists with such things as a folk museum, a war museum, a historic theatre, and other historic features. It also invites new residents with its scenic beauty and idyllic lifestyle. The Bowraville Jockey Club holds regular race meetings, and this also invites visitors from neighbouring towns and afar. demographic of bowraville of it population almost 34percent are aboriginal origin
