3 Best Places To Visit in Tweed Heads, NSW

We attended a Dementia art workshop. The director of the gallery prepared a well thought out program keeping their dementia guests in mind. Everything was so relaxed and easy going and the morning tea was yummy also. I do hope they get more funding for next year to continue this as it has inspired me to do more art with my mum following their program. The gallery it's self is amazing with the Margaret Olley rooms and the local artists art works. The gift shop had friendly staff and the gifts where very well priced. The Gallery it's self is situated in the most beautiful part of the valley. All area's are disabled friendly with lifts and ramps. Highly recommend this as an outing for a sunny day but also something to do on a rainy day. Thank you everyone for a wonderful morning.

Beautiful setting for a gallery the outdoor scenery is very relaxing the gallery is very clean, bright and airy feel, assessable by wheelchair and inclusive. I was greeted by a passionate desk host keen to give directions and explain about the Margaret Olley House gallery and the 175 million dollar loaned Monet painting. A lovely gallery with collections of interest for everyone in all mediums, peaceful and enjoyable. Gift shop and Cafe onsite.

Outstanding gallery - so pleased we made time for a visit. Just 2kms south of Murwillumbah; it's a lovely modern building with commanding countryside views. Easy parking & gallery access by lift or stairs. Nice 'meet & greet' by Malcolm explained which way to go. The displays are incredible with Margaret Olley's just compelling viewing. Spent over an hour meandering around & finished with a lovely coffee & fruit slice in the cafeteria overlooking the valley. Oh & there's no entry fee.

I didn’t expect to enjoy myself as much as I did here! There was a little bit of everything to see, learn and experience about Tweed and I really love how so many interesting and interactive exhibits are packed in such a small place. Better yet - it’s free! You can tell they’ve really put thought into making the most of this place. One of my favourites was learning about the music that’s come out from Tweed/Murwillumbah/QLD and chilling in the cute 70s lounge and listening to records. The vast thunderegg display was also very cool and learning a bit of the towns history.

Happy we made the effort to drive to Murwillumbah to see this museum. We received a very warm welcome and an explanation regarding the layout of the museum. Some displays are interactive and all display cabinets are well lit and informative. There’s a nice area to sit outside as well. Highly recommend.

A great regional museum, on par with any of our national institutions. Exhibitions are thoughtful, beautiful, and so interesting! Definitely a hidden gem.

For a unique insight into Aboriginal culture, you can’t miss Minjungbal Aboriginal Cultural Centre. It’s a popular destination for school excursions and perfect for those looking to learn about local Aboriginal culture. Run by the area’s Aboriginal community, it’s a popular meeting place for Goori people and other Aboriginal peoples. You’ll find museum exhibits, informative videos, Aboriginal art, and you may even be lucky to see traditional dance and song on the outdoor performance area. Aboriginal tour guides offer tours through the museum and site, telling you about its relics, plants and animals. Hear how Aboriginal life was when this area was an untouched paradise of natural forest and mangroves, before learning about the cultural significance of Bora Ring, which you can see on Walk on Water walking track. Pack a picnic, or cook up a storm on the barbecue, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon under the trees at Dalnan picnic area while you immerse yourself in local culture.

Excellent place to visit, the museum is very interesting, you can see read about their way of life. At the back is a reserve were you can see the Bora Ring and do a Walk on Water ( board walk through the mangroves ), beware of mosquitos, you have to pay to see the museum, there is also a gift shop.

What a hidden gem. Peace and Serenity. One of the signs says. Block the noise from the traffic and the odd plane and imagine an Aboriginal man in a dug out canoe spearing fish. The Walk on Water Track, is great, and the bird life for such a small area is fantastic. Well worth the visit.
