Many rural villages in the Northern Rivers are experiencing a revival in popularity, as young families and retirees move from the cities to the more relaxed atmosphere that seems to epitomise "the country".

As a result, in most of the villages throughout the region, there's a general store or small super-market, an Australia Post agency, and a service (petrol) station or garage, which usually doubles as the local NRMA or RACQ (motorists association) depot.

There's almost always a pub, often providing comfortable but basic accommodation, which also has a restuarant or bistro.  Arts and crafts outlets and roadside stalls selling local produce add to the ambiance.

Local guest houses, B&Bs and home/farm stay accommodation provide an ideal location for those who really want to get away from it all, especially mobile phones. They don't work in most places here!

Beachside villages are usually more developed than their rural counterparts.  As a result, a wider range of shopping and professional services are available, including sports clubs and facilities, restaurants, take away bars, mini marts, banking, dentists, doctors and real estate agents who usually have a variety of holiday rentals and lease properties.
