Scenically situated on the Hastings River in the middle of great agricultural farmland, Wauchope is now a thriving regional centre for the surrounding district and business community.
In close proximity (an easy 20 min drive) to the major city of Port Macquarie, Wauchope makes an ideal base for exploring everything the Hastings region has to offer.
With the historical distinction of shipping out more timber over the years, than any other town in Australia, Wauchope has now expanded into the agriculture, dairy and tourism sectors. Although boasting a population of over 7,500 these days, Wauchope has managed to maintain the warmth, friendliness and the feel of ‘small-town’ hospitality which visitors can enjoy.
The region’s main city of Port Macquarie is host to the Iron Man Triathlon which is held in May each year and attracts an International field of professional competitors each year. With a field of 1,800 competitors, the 2015 event was well worth attending.
