About Timbertown

Set amongst 87 acres of natural forest, Timbertown is West of Wauchope, in New South Wales, Australia. Timbertown is an entire village, re-created to demonstrate the struggles & achievements of our pioneers. It's an authentic 1880’s heritage township, where the steam train still runs, timber is still sawn & the bullock team still hauls it's heavy load. You'll smell the distinctive aroma from the steam engines, the smell of sawn green timber & home cooked meals. It won’t take long & you’ll be lost in our past.

Where is Timbertown?
Timbertown is located along the Oxley Highway, West of Wauchope (pronounced as war-hope!) on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. 20 minutes drive inland from Port Macquarie & only 10kms off the Pacific Highway. Accessible from the Pacific Highway either travelling North from Sydney, South from Brisbane, or East along the Oxley Highway from Walcha.
