THE REGION

Nestled in the caldera of an ancient shield volcano, the Tweed stretches between the world-famous holiday destinations of Byron Bay in northern NSW and Queensland’s sun-drenched Gold Coast.

Nominated by Tourism Australia as one of the National Landscapes - Australia’s Green Cauldron - the Tweed offers the best of all worlds with lush World Heritage rainforests and dramatic mountain ranges just a short drive through fertile green fields from uncrowded beaches and world-famous surf breaks. Journey along the road less travelled from the bustling hub of Tweed Heads to peaceful seaside towns and tranquil waterways meandering through cane fields and dairy farms to quirky rural communities immersed in a vibrant culture of music, art, creativity, spirituality… and a sense of adventure. They say the people make the place and Tweed is no different. It’s a lifestyle choice that brings people here. The colourful cast that call the Tweed “home” will entertain you, engulf you and embrace you into their community. Join them as they celebrate with festivals and concerts, admire their handiwork at artist studios and galleries and be prepared to chat with them at roadside stalls and farmers’ markets. Enjoy their hospitality at cosy rainforest retreats, friendly B&Bs and luxury oceanfront resorts. It’s all about the people … and it’s all about you.

Tweed Coast

Tweed Valley

Stretching from Tweed Heads in the north to the untamed beauty of Wooyung Beach in the south, the Tweed Coast offers a choice of quiet seaside towns and sophisticated resorts. Safe, patrolled swimming beaches are lined with first class resort hotels and apartment accommodation and a vibrant retail precinct offering boutique shopping, sundrenched cafes and restaurants.

Carved out by the Tweed and Oxley Rivers as they meander around the central volcanic plug of Wollumbin Mt Warning, the Tweed Valley is home to an eclectic mix of characters, those looking to escape the rat race of the ‘big cities’ now live next door to farmers and artists creating a fascinating mix of cultures and philosophies.

Kingscliff is the heart of the Tweed Coast and has recently emerged as a popular dining destination with restaurants and cafes lining the beachfront esplanade. It’s all within easy access of Salt Village and Casuarina Beach where you can enjoy the pampering style of luxury oceanfront resorts. Those looking for a more low-key approach need look no further than the beachside cottages, holiday parks and motels at Fingal Head, Hastings Point, Cabarita Beach, Pottsville and Wooyung, while the coastal hills hide cosy B&Bs and retreats nestled amidst tea plantations and market gardens.

GET SOCIAL WITH US

Dine with the Hare Krishna community at a Sunday banquet. Be inspired by art workshops at a handbuilt Renaissance-style castle. Shop for farm fresh organic produce at road-side stalls. Hunt for antique treasures and regional crafts in a riverside village. Join in a New Age festival or visit the local farmers’ markets. The natural wonders of the region take a starring role with plenty of opportunities to bushwalk in the rainforests, throw a line into the river from a secluded riverbank or take that early morning hike to the summit of Wollumbin Mt Warning.

BEACHES & WATERWAYS When you’re dreaming of a holiday on the Tweed think soft white sand between your toes, lazy days in the sun, the rhythm of rolling surf in your ears and sunset strolls along uncrowded beaches.

Beach Safety The Tweed coastline is a beautiful and dynamic place. It can also be hazardous at times so knowing how to stay safe next time you visit the beach is essential: • Always swim at beaches patrolled by lifesavers or lifeguards. • The safest place to swim is between the red and yellow flags.

The Tweed boasts 37km of perfect beaches and waterways that offer safe swimming in crystal clear water.

• Always read the Surf Conditions Board, if you are unsure of conditions ask a lifeguard.

Lifeguards patrol beaches along the Tweed Coast 7 days a week during the spring, summer and Easter school holidays; and at select beaches on weekends outside of holiday periods. Please only swim between the flags.

• Always swim or surf with a friend, never alone.

The Tweed’s beaches also play host to an array of fun activities including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddle boarding, fishing, surfing and whale watching (June to November). Some Tweed beaches have off-leash dog areas so you can bring your furry, four-legged friend with you on your next beach getaway.

• Supervise children at all times. • Never enter the water if you have been drinking alcohol or are under the influence of drugs. • Never run and dive into the water. Water conditions (and depth) can changes. • Slip, slop, slap. Cover up, use sunscreen and wear a hat. • Leave the water immediately when requested by a lifeguard. • If you get into trouble don’t panic. Raise your arm for help, float and wait for assistance. • If witnessing an in-water emergency dial triple zero (000) - Police

TWEED REGIONAL GALLERY & MARGARET OLLEY ART CENTRE The stunning Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre houses 8 exhibition spaces, a performance area, an education workshop facility, the Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio and a library. Offering magnificent panoramic views of the Tweed Valley, the Gallery is a destination experience. The Gallery Café offers an array of fine food, coffee and delicious cakes, and boasts the most spectacular views of the Tweed’s dramatic landscape. The Gallery’s collection of artworks has two main focus areas: Australian portraits of all eras and mediums, and artists’ prints. Exhibitions change every 7-9 weeks, covering a variety of artistic styles and mediums. The Gallery’s program includes a wide range of exhibitions, public events and educational activities for children and adults. The Gallery is the proud home of the biennial Olive Cotton Award for photographic portraiture. The Border Art Prize is also shown every alternate year showcasing the work of artists residing in the New South Wales / Queensland border region.

In November 2011, the Margaret Olley Art Trust offered the Tweed Regional Gallery the opportunity to establish the Margaret Olley Art Centre. Construction was completed in March 2014 and features a re-creation of Olley’s studio, elements of her home and works of art from her collection. Margaret Olley spent much of her childhood in the Northern Rivers area. Born in Lismore in 1923 and growing up in the Murwillumbah area, it is fitting that this amazing re-creation of the iconic artist’s home studio has been established so close to her childhood home. Visitors will find a stimulating program with exhibitions of artwork from the Gallery’s growing collection, and displays of regional, national and international art and craft. Opening Hours: Wednesday-Sunday: 10am-5pm Monday-Tuesday: Closed Good Friday & Christmas Day: Closed

You can also stock up the pantry or picnic basket with whatever is in season at weekly farmers’ markets where you can chat with growers and providores.

WOLLUMBIN MT WARNING Wollumbin Mt Warning dramatically rises from the World Heritage-listed Wollumbin Mt Warning National Park and stands at a height of 1157m above sea level. It is the remnant central vent of an ancient volcano and can be seen from almost every location in the Tweed. The National Park is recognised as part of the Gondwana Rainforest of Australia. Rich in flora and fauna, it is a must see for any visit to the Tweed. Take a short walk along the Lyrebird Track, where you get a chance to experience the sounds and smells of the rainforest and explore under the canopy of the trees. Listen out for the calls of Whipbirds, Noisy Pitta and, of course, Lyrebirds. If you’re adventurous try climbing to the summit. Make it to the top by sunrise and you will be the first in Australia to see the sun! The walk takes you through stunning scenery and offers magnificent views of the Tweed Valley and beyond. The climb is a steep but rewarding 8.8km return trip with a challenging final rock scramble. Allow at least 2 hours to reach the summit and another 2 hours for the return journey. In winter it is not advisable to start the walk after midday because the area becomes extremely dark and dangerous.

FINGAL & CHINDERAH Discover the Tweed’s own Giant’s Causeway and quintessential riverside fishing villages.

Fingal Head

Chinderah

This charming Tweed village was named after the mythical Celtic giant Fingal who reportedly built the famous Giant’s Causeway in Ireland.

Framing the wide lower reaches of the Tweed River with beautiful views wherever you turn, a holiday at Chinderah is all about peace, quiet, relaxation, fishing, picnics in the park and a quiet ale at the pub.

The connection is that Tweed’s Fingal Head has its own Giant’s Causeway - a crescent-shaped mass of hexagonal columns formed when the lava flowed from the ancient Tweed Volcano and rapidly cooled in the ocean currents. The unique rock formation sits just below Fingal Lighthouse on the headland, reaching towards Cook Island. The walking tracks around the headland are a drawcard for this quiet but beautiful corner of the coast. Like neighbouring Chinderah, Fingal is an angler’s paradise with foreshore parks where you can sit under a tree while you dangle a line in the river. The beaches here also attract surfers from all over the world. Enjoy a surf or swim at Fingal and kick back at the Sheoak Shack for lunch afterwards. In addition to the holiday park near the headland, there are beach houses and luxury boutique homes available for holiday rentals.

With a boat ramp and some of the Tweed’s best fishing spots along the foreshore there’s no excuse for coming home emptyhanded… but if you do, you can pick up a fresh catch at Tweed River Seafood. For history buffs, two historic cemeteries nearby contain the graves of pioneering families and the South Sea Islanders who helped establish the Tweed’s sugarcane industry. Stroll along the main street and explore the Curious Art Gallery located opposite the Tweed River. The cooperative gallery features original, fresh and affordable art. You can also visit Chinderah Bay Antiques and Museum of the Sea established in 1985 or pop down the road for a round of golf at the local course fondly dubbed “The Royal Chinderah Golf Course.” The best place to unwind is the historic riverside hotel Chinderah Tavern. Relax on the riverside deck and watch the sunset over the water while the kids play in the secure, covered playground.

KINGSCLIFF Heart of the Tweed Coast

Unlike so many traditional seaside communities, Kingscliff has blossomed into a vibrant beach holiday destination without losing its wonderful local identity. Along the esplanade eat street you can take a culinary world tour as you choose from award-winning cafés and restaurants offering a taste of Japan, Thailand, Spain, Italy, Mexico, India, Nepal and Tibet. Australia’s favourite flavours are also well represented with great seafood, nutritious health food, lunch-time salads and exotic breakfasts prepared from locally grown produce. Dotted between the sidewalk cafés and restaurants are boutiques and gift shops that make this one of the Tweed’s favourite shopping destinations. If you are looking for entertainment, the local pub, surf club and sports clubs offer plenty of options while the local cinema features a regular program of mainstream and arthouse movies. Hire a bike from Kingscliff Cycle Centre and explore the cycleway that runs north to Fingal and south to Pottsville through a string of coastal villages. Paddle a kayak or canoe along the Cudgen

Creek wetlands past osprey nests and wading birds – all the way to Cudgen Lake at Cabarita if you’re up for the exercise. Try stand-up paddle boarding in the calm creek waters or learn to surf the ocean waves. From Kingscliff you can arrange snorkelling and scuba trips to Cook Island – home to a permanent population of green and loggerhead turtles – or book a whale watching tour during (June-November). With safe swimming available along the vast stretches of uncrowded beaches or in the crystal clear creek waters, Kingscliff is the perfect place to base yourself for day trips around the region. The beauty of the Tweed Valley and Wollumbin Mt Warning, the street culture of Byron Bay and the buzz of Surfers Paradise are all less than 40mins drive away and the famous Gold Coast theme parks are an easy daytrip. The full range of accommodation available here offers something to suit every holiday style and budget, from beachfront caravan and camping sites through to international luxury resorts and apartments.

CABARITA BEACH

Almost completely encircled by a nature reserve, lake and its beautiful beaches, Cabarita Beach is a pocket of paradise on the Tweed Coast.

In the surrounding park there is play equipment for the kids, public barbeques, picnic areas under shady trees and uninterrupted views of the ocean.

The beaches here combine surfing hot spots and great family beaches, perfect for boogie boarding and hours of exploration in the rock pools on low tide, thanks to a series of bays and headlands. Throughout the year ‘Caba’ hosts numerous surfing carnivals as well as the annual Greenback Tailor Fishing Competition which attracts hundreds of competitors.

Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, it’s always delightful. There are even rewards for keen bird watchers.

HASTINGS POINT An aquatic playground for kids of all ages

As the place where Cudgera Creek winds around to meet the Pacific Ocean, Hastings Point is almost entirely surrounded by water. As such, holiday activities revolve around the estuary and ocean. From the sandy beaches lining the creek bank, children can swim safely in the calm clear water. Anglers can alternate between beach and river fishing. Mangrove wetlands deliver rewards to the crabpots. Find the team from Caldera Kayak Experience on the banks of the creek and hire a kayak or stand up paddle board. On low tide you can wander along the shore and explore the tidal rock pools. Grab some fish and chips from the local takeaway store and kick back by the river. From the top of the headland at Hastings Point you can watch the whales during June-November, glimpse the lighthouse at Byron Bay and witness amazing views north along the Tweed Coast. Add to all of this the bike paths and walkways that stretch for kilometres in all directions, and you have all the ingredients for the ultimate family/beach/fishing/nature-based holiday. Hastings Point also boasts a deluxe five-star rated holiday park - BIG4 North Star - which has won numerous tourism awards including Best Caravan and Tourism Park in Australia. In addition to a day spa, the resort is home to a marine environment centre with an incredible array of fascinating exhibits.

MUST SEE Hastings Point is a delicate and beautiful aquatic eco system. There are a variety of habitats for you to explore - rocky shore, rock platform, mangrove, estuary, beach, sand dunes, wallum heathland and coastal relic forest ecosystems. All within easy walking distance. An impressive Marine Environment Centre is located at the BIG4 North Star. It features a large range of marine specimens and educational presentations. The state-of-the-art teaching centre is open once a week for guests with additional opening times during holidays.

POTTSVILLE Golfing, fishing, swimming, kayaking, bushwalking … it’s all covered

Pottsville is a picture-postcard vision of the quintessential seaside holiday destination. Caravans and tents line the banks of the creek where children splash around in the clear, calm waters while anglers cast a line in from the nearby banks. It’s an easy stroll to the beach, shops and some great cafes and restaurants. The Pottsville Beach Sports Club is the hub of community life and a picturesque nine-hole golf club is just a short drive away on the outskirts of town. Here you’ll also find one of the Tweed Coast’s best kept secrets – the Tweed Bicentennial Leisure Gardens. Stretching over 54 hectares between the two arms of Cudgera Creek, the reserve protects areas of mangroves, eucalypts and remnant rainforest. It is networked with walking tracks and boardwalks leading to viewing platforms by the creek and is a haven for bird and wildlife watchers. Facilities here include free electric barbeques and picnic tables.

In terms of accommodation, Tweed Coast Holiday Parks have the best spots by the banks of Cudgera Creek on the north side of town and fronting onto Mooball Creek at Pottsville South. Visit Pottsville on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month for the popular Beach Markets where you can purchase farm fresh produce, plants, homemade treats, art/craft, clothing jewellery and much more. It’s fun for all ages with live music and amusements for the kids. Check out the local markets from 7.30am, grab some lunch at one of the local cafes then have a swim at the creek or enjoy a stroll along the beach. A Vintage & Artisan Market is held at White Jade Café on the 1st Saturday of each month. Enjoy breakfast at the Café, relax to live music and shop for treasures at the market.

Another favourite Pottsville place is Mooball Creek where you can kayak or canoe upstream for miles, eventually emerging from the tree cover to be greeted with a stunning view of Wollumbin Mt Warning.

CUDGEN & DURANBAH Birthplace of our sugar & fruit empires

Over 100 years ago, Cudgen was the busiest place on the Tweed River. Blanketed in rich red volcanic soil, this was one of the first areas in the Tweed Valley where early settlers experimented with growing sugar cane. In 1875, William Julius took up a large area of land at Cudgen, establishing a cane plantation and his own mill. At one stage, over 500 workers were employed here, many of them South Sea Islanders who settled in the area on land leased to them by their boss. The district’s history as a test site for new crops continued into the 1900s when the Department of Agriculture set up a research station at neighbouring Duranbah to trial bananas and ‘new’ fruits such as avocados, lychees, mangoes and macadamia nuts, which fortunately for all of us, flourished in the fertile soils.

The former research station is now home to Tropical Fruit World where those rich, red soils nurture over 500 varieties of exotic and tropical fruits from all over the world on a sprawling plantation and family theme park that attracts thousands of visitors each year. One of the great things about this park is that every time you go back something different is in season, you never have the same experience. Cudgen Village is now a lot quieter than in its early days but it is interesting to stroll down Memorial Lane where the pine and fig trees have been named in memory of soldiers who didn’t return from the war. Just 5 minutes drive from Salt and Kingscliff, Cudgen and Duranbah are perfect for Farmstay and B&B accommodation.

GOING GREEN

In 2010 Chillingham became the first plastic bag free community in the Northern Rivers. This community-lead-action means 10,000 fewer bags are ending up in the environment and local landfill each year.

CHILLINGHAM A popular stop on any scenic drive through the Tweed Valley. Chillingham is home to the Tweed’s very own ‘bush tucker man’, Buck Buchanan. Tending the orchards behind his rustic roadside stall, Buck grows a fascinating variety of local and exotic citrus fruits and he happily takes visitors on a tour of his Bush Tucker Garden. A true-blue Aussie character, Buck strides barefoot along the rows plucking fruits for you to touch, taste and smell. He supplies some of Australia’s leading restaurants and has even created his own line of natural cosmetic products from his harvest.

Just over the road, you can buy hand-made soaps at a cottage-based Soap Factory and a little further along, potter John Gillson has lovingly restored the village’s old butcher shop into a showcase for his stunning ceramics. The old Chillingham Store is a popular stop for road trippers, weekend cyclists and locals alike; famed for serving good ‘ol Aussie tuckers and some of the best cake, slices and pies in the Tweed Valley. The Chillingham Village Markets are on the second Sunday of every month. Come along and enjoy the relaxed friendly atmosphere of a quaint country market.

Murwillumbah Golf Club’s course is arguably one of the finest in Australia. Close to Mt Warning National Park, the towering mountain peak is ever-present as you traverse the spectacular layout. The natural beauty and serenity of the course is truly spectacular and is a great challenge for any keen golfer.

TUMBULGUM & CRYSTAL CREEK TUMBULGUM

CRYSTAL CREEK

Tumbulgum was one of the first villages established in northern NSW around 1840. For many years, it was the Valley’s main hub of activity with shops and services springing up to cater to the timber trade and cedar cutters. At one stage, it vied with nearby Murwillumbah for commercial supremacy - until Murwillumbah scored the railway in 1897 and a bridge in 1901, guaranteeing its status as the Valley’s economic centre.

Ten minutes’ scenic drive from Murwillumbah is the ‘miniature’ community of Crystal Creek. Looking across to Springbrook Mountain and the northern rim of the Wollumbin Mt Warning caldera, it was first settled by Europeans looking for the Valley’s giant red cedars in the mid 19th century.

In Tumbulgum today it is the tourists who generate the buzz, coming to enjoy the picturesque setting and admire the historic buildings, which house a range of art galleries, gift shops and cafes. One of the most popular reminders of the past is the old Tumbulgum Tavern. Established in 1887, it was the region’s first unlicensed pub (otherwise known as a ‘grog shanty’) and, over 120 years later, it is still going strong. The food is excellent - as are the sunsets that illuminate the river and Wollumbin Mt Warning. A couple of kilometres out of town on the north side of the river, an historic pioneer cemetery hidden in the rainforest makes for a fascinating ‘added extra’ on a daytrip to Tumbulgum.

These days, it attracts visitors in search of much smaller treasures - namely, its miniature animals. John and Carolyn Tebutt established Crystal Creek Miniatures where they breed pint-sized horses, cows and donkeys started the trend. Located along Upper Crystal Creek Road, Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat offers a peaceful getaway for couples. Hosts Craig and Paul serve guests amazing homemade breakfasts each morning that can be enjoyed with panoramic views of the Tweed Valley. The other key attraction in this picturesque corner of the Valley is Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat – a luxury escape tucked away at the base on Springbrook Mountain on a 100ha property bordering the world-heritage listed Rainforest.

CAROOL High in the hills overlooking Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, Carool Road takes you to a very different world where the cooler climate supports a coffee plantation and vineyard.

This area was once a soldier settlement where bananas were the main crop. These days, you can sample the latest vintages at ILNAM Estate - a delightful family owned winery and a unique tourist attraction being the only winery in the Tweed and the most easterly in Australia boasting amazing ocean and hinterland views. Carool is home to Zeta’s Coffee and through their products you can actually taste the Tweed. At Zeta’s Coffee they like to keep things simple by using natural farming techniques which

include hand picking, sun drying and absolutely no pesticides.

TYALGUM

The Heart of the Caldera Set against a dramatic backdrop formed by the towering western wall of the Wollumbin Mt Warning Caldera, the historic village of Tyalgum oozes country charm. What was once a remote timber town is now one of the Valley’s most popular day-trip destinations. Over the past ten years, Tyalgum has blossomed into a vibrant village thanks to the quaint old buildings that have been lovingly restored and transformed into cottage cafes, art galleries, gift stores, a bookshop, jewellery studio, an eco-store and a cutting edge fashion design store. While you’re in town check out the historic Tyalgum Hotel at the entrance to the village, it has been operating since 1926. The town’s most famous historic building is undoubtedly the

Celestial Dew of Tyalgum

A divine moment away from home in the heart of Tyalgum.

Guesthouse Bookings: 0474 512 528

CELESTIALDEWOFTYALGUM.COM

LOCAL MOMENT The Tyalgum Village Market is on the last Saturday of every month. It is a wonderful, festive day where the villagers come together and share their handmade and artisan wares, amidst music, food and festivity. Make a weekend of it and stay at Celestial Dew - an exquisite little guesthouse in the heart of the main street.

Tyalgum Hall, built in 1908 from local cedar felled in the area. In the early 1990s, two classical violinists, travelling through the region, noted the hall’s incredible acoustics and invited some of their colleagues to join them and perform. That initial gathering of musicians became what is known today as the Tyalgum Music Festival. The three-day series of concerts held over the second weekend in September has attracted some of Australia’s - and the world’s - finest musicians. Throughout the year, the Hall also hosts seasonal music, dance and theatre events presented by Hearts Aflame Productions. The Tyalgum General Store and Post Office celebrated 100 years of trading in 2008, brimming with historic artefacts and local curios it is a delightful building to visit. Each building in the main street has many a story to tell, if you are lucky enough to have a chat with one of the locals you’re sure to hear delightful anecdotes about the history of the town. Flutterbies Cottage Cafe is a gorgeous place to stop and enjoy organic coffee. You’ll find an in-house coffee microroaster and elegant Tea Room. Locals pop down on horseback for a cuppa, and visitors have been known to drop in by the

occasional helicopter! Vintage car groups regularly roll out for a Sunday drive, lining up their much-loved beauties down the main street, while they tuck into a hearty country lunch. Every Friday night Flutterbucks host a Pizza Night, showcasing great local musical talent in a relaxed and laidback environment. For a small country town, there is so much to enjoy here. Walking to the local weir is a treat, you can sit and listen to the crescendo of the waterfall amongst the ducks, cows, turtles and even the odd platypus! You can catch a round or two of tennis, go have a luxurious facial or massage at the Wellbeing Centre, get a tarot reading, or simply sit back in the sun on the front porch of the café or pub, and enjoy the uninterrupted rural views. At various times of the year you can visit local organic farm Summit Organics and enjoy guided tours of the Garden of Light. On any day of the week, Tyalgum is a top spot to end a scenic country drive with a browse through the shops and lunch at Flutterbies Cottage Cafe.

UKI & STOKERS SIDING

UKI

STOKERS SIDING

The name (pronounced yook-eye) is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal name for a small water fern but some say that it evolved from the early days of timber-getting when the finest cedars were marked U.K.1 for export to the United Kingdom.

This tiny village only 10km from Murwillumbah was put on the map when potters Bob Connery and Laine Langridge set up a storefront gallery and workshop in 1978 which they named ‘Stokers Siding Pottery’. Bob’s work has been exhibited all over Australia and, in 2002, he became the first person living outside Japan whose pots were declared suitable for ‘The Way of Tea’ and signed by Grand Tea Master Sen Shoshitsu from Japan’s revered Urasenke School of Tea.

The shops here are housed in historical buildings, many of which date back to the town’s early days as a thriving dairy and timber centre. The old Norco butter factory now accommodates a range of galleries and art studios where you can watch local artisans at work, as well as funky bric-a-brac stores, a bookstore and an antique shop. Giving the village its organic-alternative vibe are outlets like Happy High Herbs, Glorious Organics and a holistic health centre where you can have your mind, body and spirit balanced. Both the Lounge Lizard Café and Uki Café & Art Gallery overlook the heart of the village and are equally great locations to enjoy delicious food and fabulous service with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Visit the village on the third Sunday of any month you’ll find the Uki Buttery Bazaar Market. Browse the local stalls for food, music, coffee, clothing, books, art, craft and more. A visit to the Tweed is not complete without lunch or dinner at Mavis’s Kitchen. Just out of town on a 25ha property, the restaurant is set in a beautifully restored old Queenslander. The team at Mavis’s Kitchen pick fresh produce every morning from the bio-dynamic garden to create the day’s selections based on what’s ready to be harvested.

However, since Bob’s passing the old pottery shop has been transformed into Moo Moo Stitches and offers a wonderful range of fabrics, haberdashery and other sewing and craft supplies. Classes and workshops are regularly offered at Moo Moo stiches for beginners to the more experienced. In the old pottery building you’ll also find Vintage Soul. Treasure hunters will love browsing through the eclectic collection of local art, craft and vintage curios. Bob’s unique smoked lustreware pieces can still be found among the collection of local arts and crafts at Vintage Soul. One of the other iconic buildings in this quaint little village is the General Store & Post Office situated in the old railway. Many local events centre around the 100 year old historic community hall. The hall features an amateur talent night on the first Friday of every month called “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” and the Stokers Village Market is held four times a year (14 March, 13 June, 12 Sept and 28 Nov 2015).

BURRINGBAR MOOBALL CRABBES CREEK BURRINGBAR - MOOBALL - CRABBES CREEK In the southern section of the Tweed Valley, Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek form a trio of picturesque communities on the scenic Tweed Valley Way. Burringbar is a quiet stop-off point with a general store and roadside fruit stalls. This area is also home to the awardwinning Tweed Valley Whey Farmhouse Cheeses, which you can buy in the general store or at farmers’ markets throughout the Tweed and Byron shires. At Mooball, the locals have taken their town’s name literally by painting black and white cow patches on just about everything that doesn’t move - the telephone poles, the local café and petrol station, the petrol bowsers, the wheelie bins, even a random jeep parked by the side of the road. Somehow Mooball’s historic Victory Hotel managed to evade the painters to retain its classic 1930s country pub charm. The Moo Moo Roadhouse is hard to miss as you drive into town on the Tweed Valley Way. Enjoy a classic hamburger

washed down with a milkshake before browsing the vintage memorabilia - old cars and newer bikes are on display as well as for sale. Crabbes Creek is a very quiet rural village where you can enjoy rambling gardens, birdlife, picnic & barbecue areas or a stroll down the road to the licensed General Store. The General Store, opened in 1890, invites you to remember a bygone era. The old Community Hall was the first Macedonian Church in Australia. A Chinese market garden existed and in the 1950s the area was farmed by many Italian families. Today the Community Hall is the social focus for locals. Tweed Valley Way, with its open pastures and working banana plantations, reconnects with the Pacific Motorway at Yelgun a picture-postcard corner of the Valley that provides endless inspiration for photographers and nature-lovers. From here, it’s only a 10 minute drive to the Tweed Coast beaches, making it a perfect spot to stay if you want to combine rural tranquillity with a beach holiday.

STEP BACK IN TIME To discover more about the Tweed’s rich historical past, visit the Tweed Regional Museum in Murwillumbah. In late 2014 the Museum underwent an award winning multi-million dollar upgrade. The historic 1915 building was restored to its former glory and now flows into a spacious and modern exhibition area, with vibrant displays bringing Tweed’s history to life through stories of the past.
