Welcome to Uralla

The name Uralla was taken by European settlers from the dialect of the Anaiwan Aboriginals who first occupied the area.

Uralla is said to mean "ceremonial meeting place". Appropriately named, Uralla is situated approximately 473km north of Sydney (via the New England Highway) and 487km south of Brisbane (via the Cunningham/New England Highway). A great place to meet, surrounded in history, Uralla is a wonderful place to explore. The climate is great, the locals are friendly and there is much to see and do around the area.

More detailed information regarding attractions, landmarks, history and accommodation is available by visiting our Visitor Information Centre located on the main street in Uralla.

Whether you visit Uralla for a weekend or stay longer, we are sure you will enjoy your time with us.
