Coraki rests in a broad embrace of the Richmond River, its broad, slow-moving waters a constant presence, reflecting the wide, often intensely blue sky. It lies 102.5 km south of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 186°T), and is situated 13.2 km north-north-west of Woodburn. The land here is a rich alluvial plain, fertile and yielding, a patchwork of green paddocks and darker, richer soil that speaks of generations of careful cultivation. Here and there, stands of gum trees, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, break the horizon, and the air, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon, carries a faint, sweet perfume of damp earth and flowering wattles. The houses, many of them weathered timber structures with wide verandahs, seem to have grown organically from the landscape, their colours softened by sun and rain.
The history of Coraki is deeply entwined with the river that defines it, a vital artery for transport and sustenance for the Bundjalung people who have long been custodians of this land. Later, timber-getters and farmers followed the waterway, their endeavours shaping the character of the settlement. Dairy farming has long been the economic bedrock of Coraki, the rich pastures supporting herds that graze contentedly under the expansive sky, their milk contributing to the region's reputation for quality produce. While the roar of logging trucks has quietened, the scent of cut timber can still sometimes drift on the breeze, a reminder of a different era. The local economy now also finds strength in a quiet tourism, drawn by the river's call for boating and fishing, and the peaceful, unhurried pace of life that Coraki offers to the traveller seeking respite.
