A visit to Ulmarra is like stepping back in time as the village remains one of the finest examples of a 19th Century riverport in Australia. The entire village is classified by the National Trust.
The lattice work and colonial style of the Commercial Hotel attracts considerable comment as it nestles on the banks of the Clarence River. The hotel and village were used as the location for the T.V mini-series "Fields of Fire" - a story based on life in a 1929 Queensland sugar cane town. Scenes for the film 'The Picture Show Man' were also shot here.
Little wonder that this community is keen to develop the village as a town of living history with "crafty" businesses occupying the lovely old commercial centre and with the hotel, a great coffee lounge, beautifully renovated apartments and three delightful and cosy bed & breakfasts Ulmarra is a great place to visit or stay.
Thanks to Barney's Gem's who will assist in maintaining this cache.
