Nymboida, New South Wales

Nymboida is a small village situated about 40 kilometres southwest from Grafton, along the road to Armidale. It enjoys stunning mountain bush, magnificent waterways and an abundance of wildlife, including many endangered species.

The village is sited near the Nymboida River and Goolang Creek and has a charming heritage style hotel/motel, canoe centre and camp grounds, all surrounded by a small amount of local houses and a large amount of beautiful country side.

The Nymboida area was opened up by the charting of Craig’s line as an access link between Armidale and the Clarence district. The link was described as one of the worst pieces of country that man had negotiated with bullock drawn vehicles. This spectacular terrain is far more comfortable for today's motorist. Nymboida has been recognised in the past for its hydro-electric power station which is still operational today pumping water from the Nymboida River and then releases into Goolang Creek.
