Byabarra

Byabarra

The village of Byabarra is situated close to Comboyne. It is renowned for the Byabarra Cafe and Bar, with its stunning views and a la carte menu. 

​

Byabarra was originally known as Sleepy Hollow.
When the first PO was planned a name change had to occur
as there was already a town by that name. An old aboriginal known as Black Charlie told Mr Thomas Haywood ‘Sleepy Hollow’ meant ‘Byabarra’, so the name was taken.

​

Early settlers in the district of Byabarra came for the
high-quality timber and to farm. Byabarra dairy
farmers sent their cream off to Comboyne in horse &
carts before lorries arrived.

 

The small village and surrounding farms have
created a close-knit community with plenty of community
groups and regular community events held throughout the
year. For more information see Byabarra Community
Connection Facebook page.
