Yamba

Yamba is a town at the mouth of the Clarence River in New South Wales. The first European to visit the area was Matthew Flinders, who stopped by in Yamba Bay for six days in July 1799. The town economy is strongly based on fishing and tourism, but has a diverse range of influences. Due to the 'Sea Change' phenomena and the large amount of baby boomers who are starting to retire to the warmer northern climates, Yamba is experiencing further growth particularly in service industries. At the 2001 census, Yamba had a population of 5,621, but as a popular tourist destination, it can triple its population in the holiday period. At present the population is growing at a rate of 3% pa.
