Fantastic news! We are proud to support this wonderful event and pleased to see it will still be hosted on Dunghutti Country this year.

Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance is happy to announce a reschedule of our much beloved Festival for 2024 in light of the event being called off earlier this month due to rain. After consultation with Kempsey Shire Council, performers, the SWFW Festival Committee and others, the 2024 Festival is now going to be held on Saturday the 20th of July 2024.

Additionally, the festival will now be held on the grounds of the Kempsey Race Club, which has a large undercover area, adequate amenities, connected utilities, dedicated parking, and is along a regular bus route. The event may have a different look, feel and layout than what we originally intended to deliver at Smithtown Riverside Park, but will still have all the important elements everyone has come to expect at Saltwater Freshwater events.

The Main Stage line-up has changed somewhat as some of the artists originally scheduled for the Smithtown event have conflicts for the new date, but we will still deliver an amazing line-up of performers as well as our regional dancers to entertain you on the day. We will also have our Elders area, weaving and canoe workshops, Yarn Stage and language elements, kid’s area as well as a large variety of Aboriginal arts and craft plus yummy food stalls. Saltwater Freshwater appreciates your ongoing support and understanding and apologises for any inconveniences with the rescheduled date and location. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday the 20th of July!

The Macleay River ~ as you embark on the scenic drive up the Macleay River en route to Bellbrook, you’re greeted by vast natural beauty. The road meanders alongside the river, its water glistening under the reflection of the sun, ever so inviting! Don’t forget to pack your Akubra Hats.

Fun fact: did you know that the Macleay Valley Coast, Kempsey is the home of Akubra Hats and the only factory that manufactures and distributes these iconic Australian hats/leather goods.

With so many national parks along the coastline of NSW there are plenty of secluded beaches that have wildlife venturing onto them.

Rediscover simple pleasures

The Macleay Valley Coast is a picturesque slice of the Mid North Coast of NSW, covering the area between Crescent Head in the south, Grassy Head in the north and Bellbrook to the west. A nature-lover’s paradise, the Macleay Valley Coast filled with old fashioned country hospitality, pristine beaches, sub-tropical rainforest, mountain ranges, rocky river gorges, sprawling farmland and peaceful villages. A place where the Australian country spirit lives on – even amidst the bustle of the thriving holiday coast. A place filled with natural beauty, culture, heritage, and friendly locals.

From bushwalking to fishing, diving to surfing, enjoying the natural wonders of the beautiful Macleay Valley Coast is an adventure. There is the iconic point break at Crescent Head and one of the world’s best cave dives off South West Rocks. Camping in the national parks is popular, too

Kayaking on the Macleay River is a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of both the hinterland and the coast. The meandering waterway flows through the valley and into the sea at South West Rocks. Bring your fishing rod and cast a line for freshwater fish upstream or estuary fish.
