An intriguing blend of old and new, the NorthCoast is where the world’s largest expanse of subtropical rainforest meets mountains forged from ancient volcanoes. A sparkling coastline of endless beaches offers surfing, whale-watching, frolicking dolphins and flocks of seabirds. Inspiring surroundings attract creative personalities – artists, writers and musicians. Colourful local festivals brim with arts and crafts, kites, crystals and local produce. Take a horseback tour or dine on the waterfront on fresh seafood and locally grown fruit accompanied by crisp white wine. Rich volcanic soils produce macadamia nuts, exotic fruits, aromatic coffee, tea, pure milk and excellent wine.
Worth visiting are the seaside towns of Kingscliff and Cabarita, offering a relaxed vibe and stunning scenery. If you're up for a challenge, take a drive out to Mount Warning National Park and climb Mount Warning. A favourite holiday spot is Byron Bay, a melting pot of surf culture, alternative philosphies and hedonistic indulgence. Relax on one of Byron's beautiful surf beaches. The laid-back towns of Ballina, Lennox Head and Brunswick Heads, plus the arts-loving villages of Bangalow and Mullumbimby, combine the casual vibe of coastal retreats with a touch of city style.
