Overview

Ellenborough is a small parish and village positioned on the Oxley Highway, where it crosses the Ellenborough River just < 1 km north of the river’s meeting with the Hastings. Situated 38 km west of Wauchope and 130 km east of Walcha, the community falls within the Port Macquarie‑Hastings Council and Macquarie County. The predominately agricultural landscape, focused on dairy farming and beef cattle breeding, offers a mix of farm‑style dwellings and rural acreage, with the highway providing straightforward road links to larger centres.

Lifestyle in Ellenborough is shaped by its rich natural setting: abundant birdlife, native mammals such as kangaroos and koalas, and the nearby Hastings River support outdoor pursuits and wildlife watching. Heritage sites include the historic cemetery and police station, while a camping reserve on the river’s north‑eastern fringe adds a recreational outlet. For everyday amenities, residents can travel 4 km east to Long Flat, where a public school, hotel, recreation ground and general store serve the local community.
