About Taloumbi
Taloumbi is a small rural locality in the Clarence Valley region of northern New South Wales, situated along Brooms Head Road between the towns of Maclean and Brooms Head. Falling within the Clarence Valley Council area, the locality covers approximately 54 square kilometres and recorded a population of just 96 residents in the 2021 Census. The area is characterised by low-density rural living, with properties spread across gently undulating farmland used for cattle grazing and sugarcane growing.
Taloumbi is notable for its proximity to Lake Wooloweyah and the coastal village of Brooms Head, offering residents easy access to beaches, fishing, and birdwatching. The surrounding bushland is home to a critically endangered population of coastal emus, with fewer than 50 individuals known to roam the area. The nearby town of Maclean, known as the Scottish Town in Australia for its heritage-painted power poles, provides essential services, shops, and schools. Grafton, the regional centre of the Clarence Valley, is approximately 30 kilometres to the north-west.
Taloumbi falls under postcode 2463 and is governed by Clarence Valley Council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Clarence electorate.
