Raine & Horne Wauchope

An Overview of Wauchope

Known as the "Heart of the Hastings", Wauchope sits on the majestic Hastings River, which is a slow and serene waterway, somewhat reflecting the lifestyle of the area. It's a modern rural town with excellent sporting facilities - especially golf and water skiing - yet maintains its old world traditions. Colonial week, held each spring, commemorates Wauchope's pioneering history.

This heritage is remembered too, at Timbertown, a recreated working village of 1880, where visitors can relive the past - or can enjoy Wauchope's delightful rural charm. The gateway to the hinterland, Wauchope is surrounded by the splendid beauty of forests and rugged mountains, rainforest reserves and National Parks.

Many fine old buildings remain in Wauchope, and are now part of the National Trust, such as the first bank in Wauchope, now called Jacaranda House. Wauchope has a strong link with the past through its Timber milling and logging industries. It has been the foundation of the local economy for over a century. The rich alluvial soils of the valley produce many litres of milk, which are processed at the local Dairy milk Co-operative, and bulk railed to the Capital cities.
