Urbenville

The imposing volcanic plug of Coutts Crown Mountain indicates your arrival into Urbenville and a journey to a truly remarkable experience. This area is a biodiversity hot spot with the National Parks and State Forests surrounding the village rich in flora and fauna.

The area is rich in history and very significant to Aboriginal culture. Originally known as Tooloom, the village was renamed Urbenville after the first white child born at the Tooloom gold diggings William Urben. Gold enticed many to the area and timber kept them there and is still an important industry for the region. Situated in the head waters of the Clarence River, the local topography and numerous streams provide a diverse range of experiences for the visitor.
