About Ulong
Ulong is a small rural village situated in the hinterland of the NSW Mid North Coast, approximately 35 kilometres west of Coffs Harbour within the City of Coffs Harbour local government area. With a population of around 215 residents, the community is spread across a lush, forested landscape at the edge of the Great Dividing Range, surrounded by state forests and national parks. The village has a quiet, self-sufficient character shaped by generations of timber and farming history in the region.
Ulong offers a peaceful bush lifestyle beloved by those seeking a quieter pace away from coastal tourism. The area features a historic railway station from the former Dorrigo railway line, now a heritage landmark that draws visitors interested in the region's logging past. Residents enjoy access to excellent bushwalking, birdwatching, and outdoor recreation in the surrounding state forests. Basic services are available locally, with the full amenities of Coffs Harbour accessible within a 35–40 minute drive.
Ulong falls under postcode 2450 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Coffs Harbour electorate.
