Kempsey Freight Services

Midway between Sydney and Brisbane on the Pacific Highway, Kempsey sits where the Macleay River meets the mid-north coast — timber milling, construction and a commercial base that has serviced the valley for over a century. QFM catches pallet, carton and trade loads through the town from both capitals, with outbound pickups on request.

Five hours from Sydney and six and a half from Brisbane, Kempsey connects west to the New England tablelands via Armidale Road, giving the Macleay Valley dual access — coastal main route via the Pacific Highway and inland reach into Armidale and Tamworth. Timber products, building materials, retail replenishment and institutional supply anchor the freight base. On-forwarding to South West Rocks, Crescent Head, Frederickton, Gladstone, Smithtown and Port Macquarie covers the wider valley and mid-north coast.
