About Bombah Point
Bombah Point is a small locality situated in the Mid-Coast Council local government area of New South Wales, within the 2423 postcode district. Geographically, it occupies a distinctive peninsula position bordered by the western shores of Myall Lake and the southern reaches of Bombah Broadwater, nestled entirely within the protected environments of the Myall Lakes National Park. Due to its secluded location within a national park setting, the permanent population is very small, contributing to a quiet, natural demographic profile characterized primarily by conservation-focused residents, holiday homeowners, and transient visitors.
Local life in Bombah Point centers heavily on nature-based recreation, outdoor activities, and tourism. The area is a popular destination for camping, bushwalking, fishing, boating, and birdwatching. A notable local amenity is the Bombah Point ferry, a vehicle cable ferry that provides a vital transit link across the Myall River, connecting the locality to Bulahdelah and the eastern sectors of the park. Commercial amenities within the immediate locality are minimal, relying instead on nearby towns for broader retail, medical, and educational services.
The history of Bombah Point is closely tied to the traditional custodianship of the Worimi Aboriginal people, who utilized the rich aquatic and forest resources of the Myall Lakes system for thousands of years. Following European settlement in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the area saw industrial activity, notably timber-getting and sawmilling, which utilized the waterways for transporting logs. Over time, as the native forests regenerated and the region was gazetted as a national park, Bombah Point transitioned from an extractive resource site into a protected ecological and recreational sanctuary.
