Abundance in Free-flow

FED FROM THE FRESHWATER RANGES OF AN ANCIENT CALDERA RIM, AND FLOWING THROUGH PASTORAL LOW-LANDS TO JOIN THE ROUS AND OXLEY TRIBUTARIES, THE TWEED RIVER MEETS ITS SALTWATER MOUTH NEAR TWEED HEADS.

The Tweed River is a mighty life-force that connects ocean and hinterland, with the inland villages of Tumbulgum and Murwillumbah set upon its wide, winding banks.

For centuries, the river has been a generous food source, from mudcrabs to myriad fish, while all around the volcanic soil is a fertile base for sugar cane, tropical fruits and year-round vegetables.

This bountiful setting is a gorgeous backdrop for some inviting food and drink experiences from river-view coffee, new restaurant openings and pub meals to craft brewhouses and gin and rum distilling. There are hip coffee shops, gallery cafes, heritage pubs and hearty meals all on offer, so don’t delay – get your tastebuds riverside!
