Overview

Goonengerry sits in the Northern Rivers region of New NSW, 26 km south‑west of the coastal hub of Byron Bay. The locality is framed by the protected Goonengerry National Park – formerly the Tom Rummery Forest – home to Albert’s lyrebird and recognised for its environmental values on the traditional lands of the Widjabul Wia‑bal People. Its natural setting offers a tranquil, nature‑focused lifestyle while still being within easy driving distance of Byron Bay’s shops, schools and beaches.

A small township grew around the original 1890 Goonengerry School, a 1924 post office and a church that hosted the Women’s Guild in the 1920s, providing basic community services. Over time residential and rural lots have been added, creating a mix of modest homes and larger acreage properties. Recent waves of remote‑workers and alternative‑culture settlers have reinforced a community that values conservation, with easy road access to the regional centre while preserving a quiet, semi‑rural character.
