Tweed

Tweed Region

At the heart of Australia’s Green Cauldron, the Tweed region in northern NSW offers a unique combination of World Heritage listed rainforests, lush rolling farmland and unspoilt beaches, nestled in the eroded caldera of the largest shield volcano in the Southern Hemisphere.

Named as a National Landscape by Tourism Australia and Parks Australia, the Mt Warning Wollumbin Caldera is the backdrop for rambling bushwalks through ancient mystical forests, country drives following the rivers through canefields, banana plantations and organic market gardens; village strolls to art galleries, artists’ studios and traditional Aussie pubs; and long leisurely lunches at award-winning country cafes and restaurants.

Where the caldera meets the coast, take your pick of laid-back seaside village accommodation, oceanfront holiday parks or luxury international resorts stretched along 37kms of uncrowded, unspoilt beaches; while Tweed Heads, at the gateway to Queensland’s Gold Coast, is renowned for the live concerts and entertainment offered by world-class sporting and service clubs.

Tweed Tourism provides a central reservations and information service for the region’s many attractions, with Visitor Information Centres at Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads.
