Bundjalung Country map
Where Bundjalung Country runs, why no single map is official, and who holds the boundaries.
Richmond Valley
Casino
Casino calls itself the Beef Capital of Australia, and the saleyards on the edge of town back that up — it's one of the busiest cattle-selling centres in the country, in the middle of Bundjalung Country's inland grazing land.
About Casino
Casino recorded 10,930 residents at the 2021 Census (ABS Suburbs and Localities figure), making it the largest town in the Richmond Valley local government area. Saleyards have operated here since 1916, and the modern Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange regularly handles well over 100,000 head of cattle a year, with sales worth well over $200 million in strong years. The town leans into the title with an annual Beef Week celebration.
Casino grew up as a rail and river-adjacent service centre for the surrounding grazing and dairy country — early infrastructure included waterworks in 1906 and gas street lighting in 1917 — and it remains the commercial hub for a wide stretch of inland Bundjalung Country along the Richmond River, well inland of the coastal towns most visitors know. For matters of language, cultural protocol, or country and family connections, local Bundjalung organisations such as Casino Boolangle Local Aboriginal Land Council and native title bodies are the right contact — not this website.
