About Yamba
Yamba is a town in northern New South Wales,
Australia at the mouth of the Clarence
River.
The Yamba economy is strongly based on fishing
and tourism, but has a diverse range of
influences, due to the 'Sea Change' phenomena
and the large number of baby
boomers who are starting to retire to the warmer
climates.
At the 2006 census, Yamba had a population of
5,514, but as a popular tourist destination, it can
triple its population in the holiday period. In 2009
Yamba was voted the number 1 town in
Australia by Australian Traveller Magazine.
Yamba is known to have experienced the natural
phenomenon known as Sea foam
