The Panorama

DIVERSE, COMPACT AND BEAUTIFUL, THE TWEED IS AN IDEAL REGION TO EXPLORE AT AN EASY PACE, DRIVING FROM BEACHSIDE TO RIVER AND NEARBY HINTERLAND.

Call into the Visitor Information Centres at Tweed Heads, Kingscliff or Murwillumbah for more detail on the many experiences, travel routes and places to stay across the region and to get some expert local help to map out your ideal Tweed holiday. While exploring the valley, be sure to call in and have a chat with our friendly volunteers at the Murwillumbah Visitor Information Centre, also home to the spectacular 16-metre-long artwork known as The Green Cauldron Panorama.

Surrounding the viewer to evoke a 360 degree birds-eye view, this remarkable work of art was completed in 2012 by Caldera Wildscapes, a collective of creatives, led by principal artist Andy Reimanis, who all had a hand in creating this geographically true painting that captures the vastness of the caldera as well as the smaller details, such as the various birdlife species native to the Tweed.

DOROTHY TOLLETT & JANIS BANKS,

Volunteers — Kingscliff Visitor Information Centre Many holiday-makers will find their way during a stay to one of the Tweed’s Visitor Information Centres, found in Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah, to get local tips on what to see and do.

Our passionate team of volunteers are your local holiday experts and, for many of them, the experience of learning more about where they live and sharing this with visitors is a pure joy. Lots of friendships have also been forged through volunteering at the info centres, such as the connection between Dorothy Tollett and Janis Banks, who share a shift at the Kingy VIC. DT I joined the Kingscliff Visitor Information Centre as a Volunteer about four years ago, drawn by giving back to the community and sharing my knowledge and experiences with others. JB I’m semi-retired and moved to the Tweed nine years ago, from across the border at Broadbeach, and also volunteer my time with Friends of the Pound, helping to find cats and dogs their forever home.

Explore: DT I love the drive to Tyalgum and a visit to Flutterbies Cottage Café for sumptuous scones and tea. JB For a day out, I’ll sometimes take a drive to nearby Mullumbimby’s Crystal Castle — it’s always enchanting and spiritual.

Sip & Eat: DT The Oyster Shed for lunch or dinner on Friday or Saturday is a must, with views over the Tweed River (be sure to book!), as well as Tweed Valley Farmhouse Cheeses in Burringbar, to taste cheese, sip champagne and learn how each different cheese is made. JB Tweed Valley Whey Farmhouse Cheeses is top of my list too, for refreshments and time with family and friends. Right near our Kingscliff Info Centre by the beach, Zinc is a convenient pop-up that serves great coffee and wonderful treats. I also like to grab fresh sushi and find a relaxing Tweed River-side spot on the grass. Do: DT My favourite way to start each day (at 6am) is taking my dog for a walk with my friend Carol and her two pooches. We trek the hills and enjoy the views and fresh air, and the pooches love the freedom to run freely in off-leash areas. JB Depending on the weather, I also love to be outdoors — gazing at the wonderful ocean with tons of fresh air all around, cycling or strolling. Otherwise, Kingscliff Cinema or Hoyts Tweed always have a good flick between them!
