Valla is a suburb in the Nambucca Valley, on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The name was chosen to match that of the British residence of nineteenth century diplomat Andrew Buchanan.[2]
Deep Creek Post Office opened on 16 November 1905, was renamed Valla in 1906 and closed in 1942.[3]
Surfingedit
Valla Beach has a range of surf spots. South Beach is usually an easy wave but with swell can get fun for experienced surfers. North Valla is a wave for the more experienced surfers. It is known for its long right over rocks and further down the beach has a fast A-frame good for all surfers in average swells.
