Yamba is a town in northern New South Wales, Australia at the mouth of the Clarence River.

The town economy is strongly based on fishing and tourism, but has a diverse range of influences, due to the 'Sea Change' phenomena and the large amount of baby boomers who are starting to retire to the warmer climates.
