Urbenville - Fast Facts

Urbenville
Small and interesting town near the New South Wales-Queensland border
Urbenville is a little town just 25 km from the Queensland border in a quite beautiful part of NSW's Northern Tablelands. Located in what has essentially been a cattle area, it is 806 km north-east of Sydney via the Pacific Highway (852 km via the New England Highway) and 70 km east of Kyogle. Situated 366 m above sea-level, Urbenville has a population of some 200 people.

There are several volcanic plugs in the area. One, Crown Mountain, dominates the town's environs. Edinborough Castle and The Beehive are also in the area.

The forests around Urbenville have become a major destination for those with a 4WD. The National Parks and Wildlife Service have thoughtfully erected a large board aside the town's main thoroughfare (Urben St) with a map of the area which indicates the natural sites of interest and their whereabouts.
