Woodburn is a Far North Coast farming town 703 km north of Sydney. This pretty Richmond River port was first inhabited by the Bundjalung Aborigines who called it ‘maniworkan’. Early timber cutters arrived in 1840s and the town developed quickly. Due to its central location on the Pacific Hwy, Woodburn acts as an important road junction to various surrounding towns. Broadwater and Bundjalung NPs are both nearby. Woodburn Flower Show (Aug).
