CAPTAIN COOK MEMORIAL & LIGHTHOUSE

balhannah Says: Around the Tweed, you will be sure to spot some Birdlife.Seagulls just love to join you for lunch and Pelicans are always eager to see what fish you have caught. Sometimes, they even try to take it when it is still hooked on your line.Out in the Boat you got to see the...

Tom Beatson /Razorback Lookout
balhannah Says: This is an excellent lookout giving 360deg. views. You can see Mt. Warning, the Beaches, the Airport and the homes on the Canals. There is a lovely garden, with seating. If you are wheelchair bound, all you need is somebody with the strength to push you up to the top. This...
balhannah Says: This is another lovely beach that is patrolled by the Surf Life Savers. Its about the most southerly beach in Queensland, being 102kms from Brisbane, and at the far end of the Gold Coast. Markets are held along the foreshore, every second Sunday of the month.
balhannah Says: December, January, (school holidays and its summer) at the end of Greenmount Beach on Marine Parade you will find a Carnival full of rides. Ride those DODGEM CARS!!! This is a popular area for New Years Eve.
balhannah Says: I don't know the name of this look-out. It is located in Coolangatta at the end of Marine parade. Take the steep drive up the hill ( Garrick street), this will take you to it. At the top is a sculpture of an Eagle, there is also a picnic shelter, and hot water is available....
balhannah Says: Rainbow Bay is a controlled Beach, which means that there are Lifesavers there incase anybody gets into difficulties when swimming. You swim between the flags, and all is well. It is a nice spot, and when the tide goes out, as in my photo, there is some shallow water for the...

Boyds Bay Holiday Park: On the Tweed River
balhannah Says: This is a very well kept Caravan Park, situated on the banks of the Tweed River.If you saw my photos from Tom Beatson Lookout, then the park is just by the bridge. You can camp here, stay with your own Campervan/Caravan, or stay at the On-Site accommodation. We stayed in our...

Helpfulness
A round-trip scenic drive to MOO country, the town of Mooball, where the power poles are painted black & white, there a funny signs, and a cafe with 'Cow' things for sale.
Start the journey at Tweed Heads and follow the river, calling in at Tumbulgum, there is a good Hotel here. It is a very popular spot for water skiiers.
Murwillumbah has an info centre on the main road. Continuing onto Mooball, the Cafe has lots of Cow things inside, and does good meals.
You can cut across to the coast and Pottsville from here, and follow the beautiful coast road back to Tweed Heads. Pull in at the lookouts, often you see pods of Dolphins.
Any of the backroads afford beautiful views.
HOO ROO FROM MOO MOO!
