Bellingen Region
Bellingen’s lush valley on the Mid North Coast is a haven for artists, musicians and anyone seeking a slower pace. Its streets are lined with cafés, wholefood stores and quirky shops housed in Federation‑era buildings, and markets fill the showground with live music and craft stalls. Just beyond town, ancient rainforest tumbles down to crystal creeks in Dorrigo National Park, providing cool respite on hot days. Locals swim in the emerald pools of the Never Never Creek at Gleniffer and browse the studios at the Old Butter Factory where artisans make everything from ceramics to ukuleles.
Council has an approximate area of 1,600 km².
