About Lansdowne

Lansdowne is a rural village on the Mid North Coast near Taree. It lies in the Lansdowne River valley, next to the Coorabakh National Park and the village of Langley Vale, which was served by the Langley Vale Timber Tramway from 1897 to 1933, and near Coopernook and the Lansdowne State Forests. It is the gateway to the Manning River Valley’s northern hinterland.

The first settler was Benjamin Saville (1814–1896), who bought 50 acres on the northern bank of the Lansdowne River in 1848. In March 2008 the 14-hectare Lansdowne Nature Reserve was established along the river.

When something happens

A fire, a flood, a road closed: a notice raised on this hub shows above every page in Lansdowne, and on every site linked under it, until it is cleared.

Who keeps this

OurHub set this hub up as a pilot, from public information. Nobody in Lansdowne runs it yet and it is not a council service. It is free, and it is waiting for someone local to take the keys.
