For our first destination famil we head to the far north corner of NSW to explore the Tweed and Far North Coast. This spectacular region is characterised by a mix of picturesque coastal towns, riverside villages, and lush hinterland valleys. With a sub-tropical climate and a very mild winter, this region is wonderful to visit all year round.
Did you know... the town Tweed Heads is sometimes referred to as the place where you can change time zones – even celebrating New Year twice within an hour by crossing the street into QLD!
