Northern Rivers Information

A glorious and naturally blessed combination of uncrowded white-sand beaches, tropical rainforests, exquisitely picturesque hinterland surroundings and an enviable climate have attracted an eclectic and interesting mix of surfers, hippies, artists and wealthy urbanites to New South Wales Northern Rivers region.

Perched on the New South Wales border, Tweed Heads is always a popular destination. Golden beaches draw sun-worshippers and the Point Danger lookout offers panoramic views of the region. While you're there, hire a boat and explore the Tweed River or visit the Tweed's regional art gallery or many historical sites.

Further south across the border, Kingscliff is a small and charming beachside community with a touch of city sophistication, offering an abundance of cafés and local eateries. Its main street is lined with trendy al fresco cafés and is only a step away from rolling ocean beaches.

Head further south to Byron Bay, a melting pot of surf culture, alternative philosophies and hedonistic indulgence. This beautiful beachside community is home to an eclectic mix of cafés, boutiques and bars, just perfect for a spot of people watching. This truly is a place to escape modern reality: you won't find any fast food chains here and everything moves at a nice, slow pace. Visit Byron on a day trip from the Gold Coast or indulge in its pleasures for a few days.
