Tweed Valley Festivals

Explore and Discover

By TRACY PARKER

As well as pristine rainforests, impressive mountains and beautiful countryside, the Tweed Valley area is a haven for local craftspeople and you'll enjoy discovering the many galleries and craftshops which display their wares.

Later on, you can enjoy a round of golf, laze on pristine beaches, dine at myriad international restaurants, enjoy one-day river and rainforest cruises, visit the art gallery in Murwillumbah which hosts the richest portrait prize in Australia (the Doug Moran prize), browse the various regular local markets or take a trip to the Gold Coast shopping malls to relieve yourself of some of that hard-earned cash!

Whatever you choose to do, you're bound to agree that Tweed Valley is the undiscovered jewel in the crown of the beautiful Northern Rivers area, and not to be missed on your trip Down Under.
