Experience the natural beauty with all your senses. Fresh mountain air, green pastures, forests, peace and tranquillity. Comboyne is a beautiful place of rolling green hills, forests, streams, waterfalls and magnificent open skies.

The Comboyne Plateau lies between the valleys of the Manning River to the south and the Hastings River to the north. It is about 60km south-west of Port Macquarie, 35km west of Kew and 54km north-west of Taree. The plateau lies primarily within in the Port Macquarie Hastings LGA and it mainly borders the Greater Taree LGA. However there are some Comboyne properties in the Taree LGA.

The plateau has an area of approximately 180 square kilometres. The topography is unique; it is a volcanic plateau, ranging from 600 – 800 metres above sea level. The region has deep red basalt soils and a high rainfall. The plateau was originally covered by spectacular rainforests, but extensive clearing has left only a few pockets of remnant vegetation. The plateau edges are surrounded by several State Forests and Reserves.

Farming
Since white settlement, about 100 years ago, the region has been a prime dairy farming area. Over recent years a number of horticultural enterprises have been established. These include plantings of avocados, macadamias, blueberries and other fruits and vegetables.

Population
There are approximately 800 people on the Comboyne Plateau. In the Comboyne Village there are less than 200 residents with about 600 on the surrounding plateau.
