KEMPSEY
Kempsey is a significant rural centre named in 1836 by Enoch William Rudder after the small town of Kempsey which lies south of Worcester in the Severn Valley, England. Being nearly halfway between Sydney and the Queensland border, it is a popular stopping point for people making the journey north along the Pacific Highway. Lying on the Macleay River, it is surrounded by rich agricultural land which was primarily used for dairy cattle for over a century. Currently the town has a population around 10,000. It is a large thriving place servicing the surrounding region and being fuelled by the importance of the Pacific Highway which is the main coastal artery.
