It takes a Village
VISIT THE TWEED’S SWEET VALLEY TOWNS, FROM TUMBULGUM AND TYALGUM TO MURWILLUMBAH AND UKI, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN BETWEEN, AND YOU’LL FIND A FRESH COUNTRY VIBE THAT IS BOTH SOOTHING AND RESTORATIVE.
Our inland villages are home to local pubs and historic homesteads, gorgeous rainforest retreats and national parks, shoulder to shoulder, creating endless tracks to explore. Map out your Tweed village trail to take a cruise, grab a paddle and lace up your hiking boots or simply be still and breathe it all in. Be inspired by artists and makers at galleries or savour our local provenance with farm visits and produce markets, must-sip coffee and high teas to distilled gin and brewed beer.

TUMBULGUM
CAROOL
With a tucked-away, timeless ambience that’s instantly calming, you’ll find Tumbulgum, said to come from a local indigenous word for ‘meeting of the waters’, right where the Tweed and Rous Rivers intersect. Unwind with riverview cafe fare or get amongst a pub vibe at the historic tavern. Take a boat cruise with Mount Warning Tours to see Wollumbin from a new perspective and spot myriad birdlife or hire a SUP or kayak to navigate the ancient waters. Pack a picnic, cast a line or take a gin and rum distillery tour at Husk Distillers.
Up high as it is, Carool enjoys sweeping coast and valley views and also harnesses its cooler climes to grow some must-sample tastes and sips. Rest overnight at a vast working coffee plantation and be sure to book a table at Potagers – A Kitchen Garden for sweet views and home-grown food that will feed both soul and appetite.
