Bowraville, New South Wales

Bowraville (coord|30|37|S|152|51|E|region:AU-NSW_type:city) is a town of less than 950 people in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia in Nambucca Shire. The town was gazetted in 1870, and became the main centre of the Nambucca Valley. Its early industries were mainly timber and dairy, and the town eventually came to inherit the Nambucca Shire Council chambers. From about the 1960s, however, Bowraville began to decline in popularity and wealth. Nowadays, the town invites some tourists with such things as a folk museum, a war museum, a historic theatre, and other historic features. It also invites new residents with its scenic beauty and idyllic lifestyle. The Bowraville Jockey Club holds regular race meetings, and this also invites visitors from neighbouring towns and afar.Almost 34% of the population are of aboriginal origin.

Melbourne Storm rugby league player Greg Inglis played junior rugby league for the Bowraville Tigers.
