About Pappinbarra Valley
The Pappinbarra Valley is located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, 53km west of Port Macquarie, approximately 306km from Sydney and is in the federal electorate of Lyne, and the Local Government Area of Port Macquarie- Hastings Council.
Who lives here
Pappinbarra is home to a diverse array of people, including descendants of early settlers in the Valley; those who came seeking alternative, more self-sufficient lifestyles; those weary of the stresses of city life; and tree-changers.
All value the clear, unpolluted Pappinbarra River and its feeder streams, the fresh air and the peaceful, rural landscape of farms, smallholdings and beautiful bushland.
Many regard living in a place of such amazing biodiversity a real privilege.
Natural Landscape
The foothills and flats of Pappinbarra Valley, stretching from the Mount Boss State Forest in the west to the outskirts of Beechwood in the east, were cleared by the original landholders.
This country offers tree changers and escapees from the city the opportunity to live a simpler, more sustainable life in a beautiful valley with a real sense of community.
Trees on the mountains are predominantly eucalypts with rainforest in gullies and sheltered aspects. This habitat is home to a vast range of native species, both plant and animal; the Valley is a hotspot of biodiversity.
