Broadwater, New South Wales

The site of one of the early settlement on the Richmond River, Broadwater is a bustling, active town which is centred around the sugar mill which is right in the heart of the village. For many months of the year the mill is a vibrant part of the town with the crushing season commencing in early June and continuing until the end of the year.

The town is adjacent to the Broadwater National Park which contains many hectares of flat heath country which, in Spring, features vast areas of bright wildflowers including pink boronia, wax flowers, heath, wedding bush and many different species of banksia.
