Modanville, New South Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modanville is a scattered community in New South Wales, Australia, situated about a 20 minute drive from the city of Lismore. It is an interesting area with lush tropical rainforest smoothly bordering with farmland, this farmland constantly being broken up by the rainforest again. Mainly dairy and macadamias are farmed in the area and its closest village, Dunoon, is regarded as the Macadamia Capital of Australia. Known as a village of Lismore, Modanville is actually a locality: a broad area of land with houses, mainly farmhouses, dotted here and there.

There is only one shop in Modanville, the Modanville General Store owned by Ian and Evana. This corner shop has serviced the residents of Modanville for many years as well as passing tourists who are in need for a drink or a bite to eat.

The Keerong Valley is the most well known valley in Modanville, although it is not known to many people.

Modanville is sometimes also known locally as "The Ville".
