Column: Travelling Places - EXPLORE YOUR OWN BACKYARD
Last week I went to an event at the Tweed Gallery, driving from Tamborine Mountain past Hinze Dam to stop at Natural Arch to stretch our legs; I regretted not taking a picnic; the beautiful drive through lush green countryside made us feel as though we had travelled to another world. Pottering around Murwillumbah with its collection of art deco buildings (don’t miss Gelato & Co in the main street) and delightful old houses was fascinating as we carried on to the gallery.
It’s been a couple of years since I visited and the location is wonderful, Bud Brannigan’s architecture reflects traditional tin sheds and from the windows the glimpses of light and verdant rolling hills beyond enhances the experience of viewing the collection, including the re-creation of Margaret Olley’s house. The restaurant offers glorious views with Mt Warning not too far, Cabarita a mere 20 minutes and Bangalow and Byron Bay not much further. This region offers much to be explored.
Of course, this is just one example nearby to holiday
