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.

This is a very nicely appointed site with very informative staff, there is also a wonderful gift shop. Parking is great and wonderful for families as there is a great park next door with lots of activities, even a small steam railway.

Lismore Car Boot Market

Reviewed By mangonumber5

A brilliant market with a flea market kind of vibe, with lots of secondhand and homemade things. Great vintage clothes selection, lots of different types of food. I particularly recommend Ron the coffee man, and the “pocket curry” place.

3. Friends of the Koala

Friends of the Koala

Reviewed By KareBare123

Informative slide slow and commentary and tour around the sanctuary. Can see koalas up close. Run by volunteers and the tours are a way to provide more awareness of the plight of the koalas and some additional funding by way of a donation. Well worth your support.

Rocky Creek Dam

Reviewed By wherearetheactons - Australia, null

We did the Platypus Walk with 2 kids (aged 4 and 1) and its a very easy walk to do with kids this age. Don't be afraid of the drop on the dam wall - it looks worse than what it actually is. Can easily take a pram/pushchair on this walk with no issue at all. Beautiful walk in a well maintained park - I just wish we were able to spot a platypus but more of a reason to come back!

Heritage Park Railway

Reviewed By 119lynetted - Lismore, Australia

Our grandchildren were enthralled with the park, swings, climbing platform and of the course --- the train. It is a completely safe area for little ones to run, laugh and play returning to the family picnic for the quick refreshment before they headed off to find something else. The facilities are well-maintained and looking fresh. The train station was a snippet from tester year and the train experience memorable, especially travelling through the tunnel. Would we revisit the park / train when our grandchildren holiday with us again --- oh, yes!!!
