Maybe it’s the big open spaces; it could be those green hills; that big river’s probably got a bit to do with it; perhaps it’s the sound of the ocean; is it the idea of home-delivered groceries, or is it the Clarence vibe that has everyone talking? More likely it’s all of these things.
The Clarence is not just one thing – it’s many, with loads of lifestyle choices and options. In fact it has 43 town, village and city locations for you to explore. Not often will you fi nd rugged wilderness, rural lots, river towns, tiny villages, beach hamlets and vibrant urban settings all in the one region – but you can in the Clarence.
Located on the north coast of NSW, the Clarence has a definite spirit, character and sense of community – the stuff that dreams are made of really. If you thought all of that was gone for good then come take a look around.
The Clarence is home to the famous Yamba prawn (yum!), the Wooli oyster, fringe festivals, Jacaranda Queens, more sport than there are days in the week to play, great schools, an awardwinning regional gallery, affordable housing – and has the added bonus of being just three hours down the road from south-east Queensland.
Think about it – you could stay in the city and listen to the traffic or go home at the end of each day and get the board out for a surf, watch the sunset across the mighty Clarence River while you catch your fresh fish dinner, or just soak up the sound of silence.
We’re 51,000 people strong and growing. See you soon in the Clarence to get your slice of the good life on the deck chair.
