Rocky Creek Dam

Reviewed By Jeffry B - Melbourne, Australia

The Rocky Creek Dam supplies water to the nearby regional centre of Lismore and surrounding areas. The dam is a peaceful place, with well-marked bush walks. The BBQs are well maintained. Visitors can walk across the top of the dam and see the spillway. Overseas visitors who hope to see a platypus are likely to be disappointed -- they usually emerge after dark. The amenities block and playground are good for families. The dam has been around for over 60 years -- it's likely to be around for a long time yet.

Lismore Car Boot Market

Reviewed By Erinlikesrice - Sydney, Australia

Awesome flea (2nd hand) market that we make sure we visit every time we're in the Byron area.
Amazing array of plants (especially succulents!), clothes, books, vinyl & food. Particularly well priced collection of antiques like old tools, wooden trunks and boxes and interesting knick-knacks too.
Make sure you time your Byron visit with a stop here!
It's on every second Sunday (check their facebook for dates) and there's free parking everywhere too.

Lismore Visitor Information Centre

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. The Lismore Visitor Information Centre is Open 7 days a week from 9.30am to 4pm.

Star Court Arcade

Reviewed By Sheilad49 - Lismore, Australia

Starcourt Arcade has evolved from a stock standard country town boring arcade to it's present funky & charming incarnation, & provides an eclectic shopping experience. Amongst other things, you can find quality vintage clothing, (check out "The Black Angel"), get a hell hair cut etc at Pomstar, enjoy a quiet coffee, read the community noticeboard (always jam-packed) or if art house cinema is your thing, go upstairs to the cinema which is gorgeously stylish with a glamorous retro charm. Business come and go, and I miss the milk bar which used to make the absolute best, and cheapest milkshake around, but the arcade is always maintains a colourful and creative vibe. Well worth a visit.
