Uki Village in the 1900s

The Uki and South Arm Historical Society

Located in the beautiful Northern Rivers, Uki, according to a report of the Lands Department, was never officially proclaimed; “it just grew up”. Although there are many tales about the name “Uki” – including a story about timber brands – the name originates from “yugoi”, meaning ”bandicoot” in the local Ndunguwal language. 

The Uki and South Arm Historical Society volunteers have been preserving our community history for over four decades. We provide research services, village walks and happily share our stories and archives with residents and visitors.

Please come by and see us and hear a few local legends, or perhaps even meet one while you’re here.
