About Ulmarra
Ulmarra is a historic riverside village located in the Clarence Valley of northern New South Wales, situated approximately 12 kilometres northeast of Grafton on the banks of the Clarence River. Part of the Clarence Valley Council local government area, the locality is defined by its low-lying agricultural landscape and its strategic position along the Pacific Highway corridor, which bypasses the town centre. As of the 2021 Census, Ulmarra maintains a modest population, functioning primarily as a quiet residential and tourist-oriented community characterized by its riverine setting.
The village is noted for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, which has led to the entire main street being classified by the National Trust. Central to local life is the historic Ulmarra Hotel, a prominent landmark that reflects the town's origins as a bustling river port during the late 1800s. Amenities in the area cater to both residents and visitors, featuring boutique retail shops, cafes, and arts and crafts galleries. While the village retains a slower pace of life, it serves as a key heritage destination within the Clarence Valley, drawing interest for its colonial streetscape and links to the region’s maritime and agricultural history.
