Welcome to my village I live in Maclean NSW –
the Scottish town in Australia On these pages I will show
you many things about Maclean in order to keep you interested and maybe to
increase the tourist possibilities of our town. Maclean is a town with
a population of about 3500. It is located on several hills adjacent the
Pacific Highway, 667 km north-east of Sydney. It is one of those remarkable
towns which has an excess of attractive buildings
and unusual things to see. Maclean is
situated at the junction of the southern and northern arms of the Clarence
River. At only 6 metres above sea-level it has been ravaged by the river with
some regularity so that it is now protected by a very substantial levee bank
adjacent the northern end of the main street (River St). On the western
side of the levee wall is the fishing fleet. The Clarence River is a major
source of the nation's seafood with the river being trawled for prawns well
upstream. Maclean is at the
southern limit of the Australian sugar crop which extends north from here to
Cairns. Timber, maize, mixed crops and tourism also support the local
economy. |
