About Minimbah
Minimbah is a quiet rural locality on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, situated within the Mid-Coast Council area approximately 230 kilometres north of Sydney and 55 kilometres south of Taree. With a population of 199 residents spread across roughly 36 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled, largely forested locality. The median household income reflects the modest economic profile typical of rural communities in the Manning and Forster hinterland region.
The locality is defined by its natural surroundings, lying near the Wang Wauk River, Coolongolook River, and Wallingat River systems, which are popular for freshwater fishing and four-wheel driving. Wallingat National Park borders the area, offering bushwalking and wildlife spotting. Minimbah appeals to those seeking a quiet rural retreat, with the Barrington Coast tourism region and the service town of Forster–Tuncurry accessible within roughly an hour's drive.
Minimbah falls under postcode 2312 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Myall Lakes electorate.
