About Uki
Uki is a small rural village situated in the Tweed Valley of far northern New South Wales, positioned approximately 15 kilometres southwest of Murwillumbah. Nestled at the base of Mount Warning (Wollumbin) within the Tweed Shire local government area (postcode 2484), the locality is defined by its verdant, mountainous terrain and proximity to the caldera of the Tweed Shield Volcano. The population is characterized by a diverse mix of long-term agricultural families and a vibrant community of artists, professionals, and residents drawn to the region's natural environment and alternative lifestyle appeal.
The village serves as a local hub, providing essential amenities such as a primary school, a post office, and the historic Uki Hall, which functions as a central venue for community gatherings and local markets. The local economy and lifestyle are supported by small-scale agriculture, boutique tourism, and a range of local businesses that emphasize sustainability and regional produce. Historically, the area was settled in the late 19th century as a timber-getting and dairying settlement, with the village name believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for the native fern. Today, Uki preserves its heritage through the architectural character of its main street and the continued stewardship of the surrounding hinterland landscape.
