Meandering through the prehistoric Tweed Caldera, the Tweed and Rous rivers boast majestic views of spectacular Mt Warning (where dawn greets Australia each day) and the surrounding ranges.
This Valley of Contrasts is the gateway to five Australian World Heritage listed national parks, and as you cruise, you will get a very different view of the lowland subtropical rainforest, massive ancient trees, dramatic mountain ranges and secluded estuaries.
From our base you can journey
south (upstream in boating terms), past Murwillumbah, through
picture postcard rural landscapes.
Or you can head north (downstream - towards the sea) for historic Tumbulgum village and Stott's Rainforest Island Nature Reserve.
Continue coastward to Chinderah Bay, a favourite for fishing, and on through Fingal for a left turn into the sandy beaches at Ukerebagh Island.
Along the 60 or so kilometres of sheltered waterways there are riverside pubs, eateries, stores and art galleries to enjoy! Google Earth view (requires Google™ Earth) of Tweed River Houseboats locality.
