Millbank unfolds across the gentle slopes that spill towards the estuary, a place where the air carries the saline tang of the sea and the sweet perfume of flowering gum. It lies 73.6 km south-west of Coffs Harbour, NSW (from Coffs Harbour, NSW: bearing 223°T), and is situated 26.8 km north-west of Collombatti. The landscape here is a softly sculpted tapestry of green paddocks, punctuated by the darker, more intense hues of rainforest remnants clinging to the hillsides. Sunlight, particularly in the late afternoon, washes over the land with a liquid gold, catching the dust motes dancing above the unsealed roads and illuminating the weathered timber of the homesteads scattered across the countryside. The Macleay River, a broad, slow-moving artery, threads its way through the district, its banks fringed with paperbarks and mangroves, a vital lifeline that has shaped the very character of Millbank.
The history of Millbank is intrinsically tied to the ebb and flow of the river and the bounty of the land. Early settlers, drawn by the fertile soils and the promise of a new life, established farms and ranches, their descendants still tending the same acres today. Timber getters and fishermen also carved out a living from the abundant natural resources, their labour echoing in the quiet hum of the present-day economy, which leans heavily on agriculture – cattle grazing and the cultivation of various crops – alongside a growing appreciation for the region’s natural beauty by visitors seeking a quieter pace. The old timber mill, though long silent, stands as a weathered monument to a foundational industry, a reminder of the industrious spirit that first took root here and continues to define Millbank.
