The District
The Northern Rivers Hinterland is a sprawling collection of rolling green hills covered in eucalyptus and dense forests, a place known as much for its laidback hippie culture and quirky villages as its natural beauty. It is also a place of rich agricultural land and home to a variety of farming industries for over a century.
Corndale is a small rural location within the local government area of Lismore and is situated in the heart of the beautiful Northern Rivers hinterland of New South Wales in Bundjalung country. Corndale itself is fairly small and hosts around 350 residents. The properties in the area are mainly farming or mixed farming and large homestead, lifestyle properties with excellent agricultural land and rainforest making up the main topography.
Just five minutes to the north is Rosebank and another five further on is the World Heritage-listed rainforest that is the Nightcap National Park, ideal for a day trip or overnight adventure, you’ll find great campgrounds, picnic areas, walks and stunning views.
