About Dyers Crossing

Dyers Crossing is a rural locality in the Manning Valley region of mid-North Coast New South Wales, situated within the MidCoast Council area approximately 310 kilometres north of Sydney. The locality spans nearly 39 square kilometres of farming and bushland country along the Manning River corridor, and recorded a population of 346 at the 2021 Census. With a median household income of around $37,000 — below the national average — it reflects the broader socioeconomic character of the Manning Valley's rural hinterland.

The Manning Valley is renowned for its scenic river landscapes, dairy farming, and relaxed rural lifestyle, and Dyers Crossing fits naturally into this character. The regional centre of Taree, approximately 30 kilometres to the east, provides the full range of services including supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and transport connections. Dyers Crossing suits acreage owners, hobby farmers, and those drawn to the quiet mid-North Coast hinterland — within reasonable reach of both the beaches of the Barrington Coast and the forests of the Barrington Tops National Park.
