  Kempsey is located on the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales. It is roughly 334 kilometres north of Sydney on the Macleay River, accessible via the Pacific Highway. The town is an important service centre and popular rest stop for travellers. The Dunghutti people are the traditional Aboriginal occupants of the area. The first land grants were surveyed on the east bank of the Macleay in 1835. Kempsey prospered as a logging and sawmilling town extracting large quantities of Red Cedar and Rosewood until the resource was exhausted in the 1960s. Today graziers produce beef and dairy cattle. Kempsey is the home of the iconic Akubra hat and the birthplace of Australian country music legend Slim Dusty. The community of Kempsey values its Aboriginal heritage and has attempted to preserve this culture. The museum has an excellent display of Aboriginal artefacts and extensive documentation of local Aboriginal studies. The Dunghutti-Ngaku Aboriginal Art Gallery is in the Visitor Information Centre. The aim of the Gallery is to showcase and market works produced by local artists. Products include paintings, weaving, wood and textiles with prices starting from $25.
