Bellingen NSW NSW Country
Bellingen is emerging as a popular ‘sea change’ destination for city dwellers seeking a more laid back lifestyle. Famous locals seeking a retreat include David Helfgott and George Negus.
Originally a successful dairy farming area, today the town is a pleasant retreat away from the Pacific Highway and its traffic heading for the sunshine of Queensland. It has the charm of a rural centre with an urbanity created by the new arrivals.
