Kempsey Region

Surrounded by dairying country and bounded by surf beaches and the Macleay River, Kempsey is a relaxed mid‑north coast town. The region is famous for its surfers at Crescent Head, Slim Dusty’s musical legacy and the heritage Trial Bay Gaol overlooking South West Rocks. Bushwalkers venture into the rainforested valleys of the upper Macleay and kayak through the river’s placid reaches. Locals head to the back beaches of Crescent Head for quiet surf sessions and visit a gallery at the Slim Dusty Centre that houses his guitars and personal memorabilia, tucked away from the main exhibition.
