Beach Towns Australia - Nambucca Heads
Nambucca Heads is a town on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia in Nambucca Shire. It is a holiday and retirement centre located on a ridge north of the estuary of the Nambucca River near the Pacific Highway, which now bypasses it. Its 2006 population was 6,137, including 445 (7.3%) indigenous persons and 5,058 (82.4%) Australian-born persons in the Shire.[1] The place name is derived from an aboriginal word meaning 'entrance to the waters'.[4]
The town is located on the North Coast railway line, and is served by the three daily XPT services. Nambucca is the current and historical homeland of the Gumbaynggirr people. Gumbaingirr lands stretch from Pillar Valley, Tyndale, Grafton and Copmanhurst in the north, to Glen Innes, Guyra and Black Mountain to the west, and to Bowraville to the south.[5] The Nambucca River separated the Gumbaynggirr from the Dunghutti Ngaku. The name Nambucca comes from an Aboriginal word, ngambugka, variously translated as winding or crooked river, and as entrance to the waters. [5]
Europeans may have explored the area in 1818, and John Oxley surveyed the area in 1820.
The cutting of Australian red cedar had started in the area by 1842. It is believed that the first house was built in 1867, when about 50 people had settled in the valley to cut cedar or raise corn. The site of the town was surveyed in 1874 and the first hotel and school were both established in 1884. It was proclaimed a village in 1885.[6] The North Coast railway was extended from Taree to south Grafton in 1915, but the station at Nambucca Heads was not opened until 1923.[7]
Nambucca also has one of the oldest surf lifesaving clubs in Australia and also invented junior surf lifesaving known as Nippers.

In this episode I will show you 12 of the 20 destinations we traveled during our 3 week Australian East Coast trip & important tips you can use when you make the trip too.
Warning: In this video, I
1. Have a snuffalumpagus cold.
2. Say “awesome, “amazing, uh, and “I gotta tell you” A LOT
3. I’m not sure I know what I’m doing
4. I just want to inspire other people to leave their comfort zones and travel.
If you are planning on visiting Australia I highly recommend renting a camper van for 2-4 weeks to explore these destinations...

Jucy van comes with all bedding needs, cooking ware and utensils, fridge, and gas for the stove - for the price it was a great option. We will be using Jucy again in New Zealand!
Campervan accommodations include:
- National parks: stay for very low prices or even free
- Free parking areas: we found a few beach towns that allowed you to park and sleep legally. -- Google Terrigal
- Caravan parks: most range from $20-$50 a night and include showers and laundry. Be aware that these can add up quickly if you are trying to go the cheap route.
- Random neighborhoods: illegal in most areas but you can risk it if you're feeling froggy.
If you have any questions at all please leave me a comment - I would love to help! Thanks for tuning in.

About the Vlog & Us:
Welcome to my Travel Vlog! (aka my side hobby)
This channel was created to inspire others to travel and really, to MOVE abroad. In these episodes I will show you the beautiful places around the world we explore + the answers to why and how we made it happen.
I am a rapid media producer (videographer/social media strategist) and my partner is a personal trainer. We left the United States to travel/live abroad for the next 3 years...
I graduated business school December 2015, worked to save money, and left the U.S. 1 year later.
Inspired by other travelers, with only 6 months of planning, I made the decision to leave my home country & explore the world. I quit my job, left my comfort zone behind, and entered a totally new world....
As of February, 2017 I have put more focus on my social media marketing business and helping business owners tell their story online. I film and edit videos regularly, but now to help other people win (which I'm really excited about!)
I am a huge advocate for personal development and am always eager to acquire new skills, learn about different cultures, and make new friends along the journey.
Living abroad isn't for everyone but I think it's much less complicated and more possible than some may think. Subscribe to stay in the loop!

Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.
