The Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance Aboriginal Corporation is a regional body for Aboriginal arts and culture on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia.

The Mid North Coast region of NSW stretches from Hawkes Next at the northern edge of the Worimi Nation, up the coast to Coffs Harbour in the Gumbaynggirr Nation, with the Birpai and Dunghutti Nations in between.

The region is represented by eleven Local Aboriginal Land Councils including Karuah, Forster, Purfleet Taree, Birpai (Port Macquarie), Bunyah (Wauchope), Kempsey, Thungutti (Bellbrook), Unkya (Macksville), Nambucca Heads, Bowraville and Coffs Harbour.

There are 11,000 Aboriginal people living in the Mid North Coast of NSW and it is one of the nation’s most culturally rich areas.  What makes our region unique is the meeting of the saltwater and the freshwater from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Dividing Range.

The Saltwater Freshwater Alliance aims to celebrate and share our Aboriginal living culture on the Mid North Coast as unique from other more high profile areas in Australia.
