Postcard from Gleniffer, NSW
The Gleniffer valley is located approximately 12 kms north west of Bellingen on the mid north coast of NSW. The valley was originally settled in 1863 and the area was named Gleniffer by early settler John McFadyen as it reminding him of his home near the Gleniffer Braes to the south of Paisley, Scotland ("brae" is the Scots word for hill).
Within the Gleniffer valley are the local areas of Gleniffer, Promised Land, Tallowood Point and Gordonville. The Never Never River with its headwaters in the Dorrigo National Park flows through the valley.
My paternal grandparents were early settlers at Promised Land, they farmed in the district, my father and I were born in Bellingen. In 2012 I made a nostalgic visit to the district and had to have a photo of this sign complete with a Kookaburra.
