About Old Station
Old Station is a rural locality situated in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, within the Kempsey Shire local government area and the 2440 postcode. Geographically, the area is characterised by undulating terrain, agricultural lands, and native bushland typical of the Macleay River catchment. Due to its rural classification, Old Station has a very low population density, with residents primarily dispersed across large agricultural properties and lifestyle landholdings.
Local life in Old Station is centered around primary industry, predominantly beef cattle grazing and associated rural pursuits. The locality itself operates entirely without commercial amenities, relying instead on the nearby regional centre of Kempsey for essential services, retail, education, and healthcare. Transport connectivity is provided by secondary rural roads linking the community to the Pacific Highway corridor.
Historically, the area was established during the European settlement and expansion of the Macleay Valley in the 19th century. The locality derives its name from early pastoral operations and land use in the district. While few distinct historical structures remain prominent in public records, the cultural landscape reflects the traditional custodianship of the Dhanggati people, followed by generations of European agricultural settlement.
