The Gallery's setting is sensational for a start! The views across to Wollumbin/Mt Warning are worth going for in themselves.
This is an interesting collection, but without doubt the feature is the Margaret Olley Art Centre. It really seems as if she has just popped down the street, leaving her wonderfully chaotic rooms untidied. We had always liked her work, but came to a greater appreciation of her after visiting the gallery.
The gallery café is delightful, once again capitalising on the views over the valley, and serving good quality food.

Reviewed By Casey E - Sunshine Coast, Australia
The Tweed and Rous River afternoon cruise was fantastic. Drinks served straight away, informed guides with knowledge of a wide range of information from bird species to natural and Indigenous history. Great views of Wollumbin. Birds galore. Hotel transfers. Its a very relaxing river cruise with very little watercraft activity on the water. The lunch provided gave us 6 different types of seafood on one plate! Friendly staff. Will go again!

We found the Tweed River Cruise by Mount Warning Tours from Tumbulgum a really nice 4 hours.
The Seafood Lunch was ample and a nice variety including Bugs and Prawns.
One of the highlights was the untouched Island of Virgin Tropical Rainforest surrounded by Sugar Cane Plantations, a real eye opener. The birdlife was extensive and really interesting with very informative and friendly commentary.
Well worth the half day. No wonder they have won some of the local tourism awards.

My partner and I have attended several fundraising events and new movies at this theatre. The owners are renowned for giving huge support to community service clubs,
fundraisers for the afflicted locally and internationally. They do their best to support local, national and international performers but unfortunately the public often do not appreciate their generosity to the community. The ambience of this old Art Deco cinema is very enjoyable and it is a great place to have a coffee or wine whilst awaiting or at intermission of movies or Performances.

This is an excellent regional museum to visit, housed in the old council chambers. This beautifully restored 1915 building has been cleverly redesigned to incorporate a large modern showroom with a mezzanine level at the back of the building, the museum exhibits are spread out throughout all sections of the building. Even before entering the museum, seeing the large 1896 twelve ton Robey Steam engine near the small car park got us interested.
On entering the building we were impressed by what we saw and were greeted by one of the volunteers at reception. In the reception room guests are welcomed to the region known by the local aboriginal people as Bundjalung nation, here and throughout the museum there are some interesting facts and artefacts on some of their recognised people.
We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of local history, collections on life activities in years gone by, the equipment used for the chopping cedar trees, the postal service, how the waterways in the region were used, WW1 and WW2 memorabilia. All the exhibits are well documented and very interesting. Throughout the museum there are iPads available to search over 9000 objects and 8000 images of the museum's collection.
I very much enjoyed watching the projecting short movie footage of old steam boats and people having fun on the Tweed River. Also Reading the old travel guides and viewing the laminated photograph collection in the peace and quiet of the restored council chamber.
On the mezzanine floor there were a number of temporary private collections: butterflies, old radios and thunder eggs which we also enjoyed. Access to this floor is via a staircase or elevator.
This is a well planned and organised regional museum, a lot of thought and attention to detail makes for a great hour or more of discovering some of the history of this beautiful region of Northern NSW. The museum is free and is located a few steps away from the centre of town, there is plenty of street parking available. When finished maybe a visit to one of the lovely local cafes to round off the experience.
