Northern Rivers Tourism launches new website

Northern Rivers Tourism has revamped its website to showcase Australia's rivers of life.

Stretching from the mighty Clarence River up to Tweed Heads on the Queensland border and out to the foothills of the Great Divide, the Northern Rivers region of NSW is an intriguing blend of old- school and new-age. It’s where the world’s largest expanse of subtropical rainforest meets mountains forged from ancient volcanoes, overlooking more than 300 kilometres of spectacular coastline.
In this one compact region, you’ll discover the endless stretch of Pacific Coast beaches that gave rise to the Australian surfing legend; lush rolling countryside dotted with quaint and quirky townships; rugged cattle country; mystical rainforests; and deep river gorges disappearing up into the mountains..
Counter-culturalists, environmentalists, farmers, artists, academics, entertainers, entrepreneurs and more co-exist in a unique collection of communities. If nothing else, they have this in common; an appreciation that this region offers an unrivalled quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

Sure that we locals can vouch for the truth of this. Why don't you come and see for yourself?

Its such a beautiful part of the country. I ate my first oyster and mud crab on the Tweed (http://www.godo.com.au/activity/CATC100/?categoryID=0&keyword=tweed%20heads&region_id=0&subcategoryId=0&state_id=0)
I really recommend the tour-- my kids loved it and it was definitely a different way to enjoy seafood!
