Murwillumbah Visitor Information Centre

The heart of the Tweed valley can be found in beautiful Murwillumbah, and the Visitor Information Centre (VIC) stands ready to help you plan your perfect visit to the area. Our friendly staff and volunteers are always happy to help with information, tour bookings, accommodation options, locally crafted wares, or just a good tall tale with plenty of local knowledge. Additionally, the Murwillumbah VIC is the home of 'The Panorama' - a renowned artwork that displays the dramatic 360 degree view as seen from the summit of Wollumbin Mount Warning (currently closed to hiking). This impressive piece is a part of our relaxation room - stop by and take it in whilst enjoying a cup of local Madura Tea on the comfy couch.

Friendly and informative staff and volunteers, large assortment of local arts and crafts, well-priced souvenirs of the area and Australia in general. Heaps of brochures and maps covering north to Cape Yorke and south to Canberra. Good advice on local attractions, accomodation and public transport. Large, bright, venue in the spacious railway building. Sad to have lost the original, character and ambience of old venue across road. This was devastated by last floods unfortunately.

Lismore Visitor Information Centre

The Lismore Visitor Information Centre is currently closed. The award winning Lismore Visitor Information Centre is much more than a visitor centre - it's an experience! Our aim is to be a link between visitors and the rich source of environmental, cultural and economic resources in Lismore, Nimbin and surrounding villages. As Lismore is on the doorstep to Nightcap National Park, the centre features an indoor rainforest, designed to give visitors a taste of what they can experinece in the region. We have an Aboriginal Art Gallery, which provides local Northern Rivers Indigenous artists the opportunity to promote their artwork and offers visitors to Lismore an opportunity to learn about the area they are visiting through some of the local Aboriginal art. We have a large retail section specialising in unique, locally made arts, crafts and produce. There is an array of sumptuous gift baskets which you can buy pre-made or have one made-to-order.

Dorrigo Rainforest Centre

Reviewed By JocelynC885 - Canberra, Australia

We first came here around 23 years ago and we're interest to see it again as we were in the area. It's well worth a visit. There's walks of different lengths and difficulty to choose from. We started with the short sky walk, then moved on to the longer (2+km) walk to the picnic ground and back. While not too difficult, there are some hills to go up and down. There's a couple of places to sit along the way. It's mostly peaceful walking through the rainforest. We heard and saw lots of birdlife. The path is firm and easy to walk on. Make sure you detour along the bird trail - it's a raised boardwalk through the canopy, with information about birdlife along the way. The longest walk available was a 6.6km track. Back at the rainforest centre we stopped at the Canopy Cafe for refreshments (2 kombucha on tap), and rested before we set out for Dorrigo. Allow yourself 1-3 hours depending on which walk you plan to do. Highly recommend this attraction.
