Nestled
at the foot of the imposing volcanic plug of Coutts Crown
Mountain, Urbenville is only 26 km south of the Qld/NSW
Border.
Originally
known as Tooloom, the Village was renamed Urbenville
after Mr. William Urben who was the first white child
born at the Tooloom Gold Diggings.
Situated in the Clean and Green headwaters
of the mighty Clarence River, the numerous streams around
Urbenville provide fishing, fossicking, canoeing and
swimming opportunities. The area is a biodiversity hot
spot, and the National Parks and State Forests that
surround the Village are rich in Flora and Fauna.
Village services
and amenities include:
Urbenville Primary School, Hotel,
Bowling Club, Medical Practitioner and Hospital Multi
Purpose Centre, Police, S.E.S., Fire Brigade, Post Office,
Banking Facilities, General Store and Petrol, Newsagency,
Arts & Crafts Shop, Parks and Camping, and Historical
Museum.
