Getting here
For visitors and returning locals — find Long Flat on the map, plan the drive, and pick a stop.
Long Flat is a rural village on the Oxley Highway in the Port Macquarie–Hastings hinterland, NSW — river country west of Wauchope, and a natural pause on the “Ox” run toward the tablelands.
Nearby stops
- By roadOn the Oxley Highway (B56), about 30 km west of Wauchope — roughly a 25–30 minute drive. From Port Macquarie, allow around 45–50 minutes via Wauchope.
- Look forThe Long Flat Pub on the highway is the easy landmark. The village also has the public school, community hall, and recreation ground.
- Fuel & suppliesPlan fuel and bigger shops in Wauchope or Port Macquarie. Long Flat is a small village stop — perfect for a meal and a stretch, not a full service centre.
- Weather & roadsThe Oxley can close or slow after heavy rain and flooding. After you check the map, use Live roads (under the map) for a local snapshot — then confirm on Live Traffic NSW before you drive. In bushfire season, also check the RFS.
