With additional land releases in recent years, Paterson offers its inhabitants a wealth of charming features including a wide main street with a variety of shops that include a bakery, café, supermarket, two hotels, a service station and dedicated post office, as well as the famous John Tucker Park with its New Year celebrations and well photographed Poplar Trees. Family oriented streets as well as a public school and community run preschool, make it extremely appealing to a wide demographic. Well frequented by the students of the famous Tocal Agricultural Collage, the village also boasts the historic Tocal Homestead offering visitors a tour of a life gone by and the annual Tocal Field Days is a local institution. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging. The suburb of Paterson falls on the traditional lands of the Mindaribba people.
