About Mallanganee

Mallanganee is a small village in the Kyogle Shire of New South Wales, situated approximately 40 kilometres west of Casino in the Northern Rivers region. The name Mallanganee is a Koori word meaning 'place of tall pines', reflecting the area's deep Indigenous heritage and its striking forested landscape on the Richmond Range. With a population of around 137 residents, the village is one of the Kyogle Shire's designated 'Gateways to the Rainforest', lying just off the Bruxner Highway at the foot of the Richmond Range.

The Mallanganee Lookout, perched on the peak of the Richmond Range, is the area's most celebrated attraction — offering sweeping views across the Northern Rivers hinterland. The surrounding landscape is home to Mallanganee National Park, with subtropical rainforest, diverse birdlife, and scenic bushwalking. The community is small and tight-knit, with locals drawn to its forested setting, clean air, and access to the Upper Clarence Valley. Mallanganee suits tree-changers, nature lovers, and those seeking a serene rural alternative to the coastal Northern Rivers towns.
