About Kindee

Kindee is a small rural locality in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council area of New South Wales, situated in the hinterland hills approximately 26 kilometres west of Wauchope and around 42 kilometres west of Port Macquarie. The locality extends across approximately 62 square kilometres of forested and rural land in the Hastings River catchment, in a region characterised by tall timber country, hobby farms, and cattle grazing.
