Brooms Head is a small community in the Yuraygir National Park which runs for 60kms from the tidal lakes at the mouth of the Clarence River just south of Yamba, to the Corindi River near the village of Red Rock, 45 km north of Coffs Harbour. Not much happens in "The Broom" as the locals call it, the village is relaxing, has one shop, a tennis court and a Lawn Bowls Club. The main attraction is the local fishing and the caravan park stretches along the coast line for 1.5 kms, allowing campers to wake to the sound of the surf. Norfolk pines line the main beach, providing shade for campers and picknicers. To find Brooms Head, turn off the Pacific Highway at Maclean and follow your nose 25 kms east to the coast. The journey is very pleasant, on a good road and usually includes many sightings of emus, wallabies and other wildlife. The Yuraygir National Park offers much to explore and Brooms Head is just a very small part of this.

Maclean, on the Clarnece River is very proud of its Scottish heritage and Maclean has been proclaimed "The Schttish Town in Australia". The clans invade for the Highland Gathering every Easter and the oldest Free Presbyterian Chursh in Australia caries this Scottish religion to the decendants of the pioneers. Most of the power poles in the town have been painted with brilliant tartans and identified with their clan name, and the many street signs carry Gaelic translations. The town was named Maclean in 1862 but had earlier been called "Rocky Mouth". The Scottish Settlers who came to the Maclean area were mainly Highlanders driven from their land during the Highland Clearances. Responding to offers of immigration to Australia, several shiploads arrived on free or assisted passages. The Free Selection Act of 1861 meant that many migrants became landholders without needing large capital backing. Many settler families still live in the area today and the Maclean High School students wear Maclean Hunting tartan as their uniform and the school song is an adaptation of "Scotland the Brave".

Yamba is a beautiful costal resort town overlooking the mouth of the Clarence River in Northern New South Wales.

Ulmarra is a step back in time to 19th century Australia. The town boasts one of the finest examples of a 19th century riverport in Australia. The town and port are classified by the National Trust of Australia.
