Mullumbimby 1850
BV History Trail Maps – Ocean Shores/Billinudgel – Brunswick Heads – Mullumbimby/ Main Arm
As the cedar-getters and boat-builders made frequent trips up the river for materials, a camp site was established at the junction of the three arms of the Brunswick River. This grew to become a village and later the township of Mullumbimby. It was an excellent site because the river was tidal and could be easily navigated to that point, its central location gave access to all areas of the catchment area and it provided the best position for bullock teams to cross the river with their wagons loaded with timber.
