Overview

Wooyung is a tranquil coastal enclave in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, home to just 139 residents according to the 2021 Census. The town’s name, interpreted as “slow” or “place of long grass” in local Bundjalung dialects, mirrors its relaxed atmosphere, where littoral rainforest in the 87‑hectare Wooyung Nature Reserve meets a broad, surf‑friendly beach. Visitors and locals alike enjoy birdwatching, fishing and the unique bush‑camping experience offered at Wooyung Beach Holiday Park, one of the few remaining sites of its kind on the east coast.

The residential community is small but diverse, with an average household size of 2.5 people and a median age of 49 years. Housing ranges from permanent homes to holiday‑park accommodations, providing flexible options for retirees, families and weekend getaways. Proximity to Wooyung Beach and the nearby Burringbar Creek ensures easy outdoor recreation, while the town’s quiet streets retain the natural serenity that defines its character.
