Lismore
Tucked away in the far north eastern pocket of NSW, Lismore is at the heart of the Rainbow Region, an area renowned for its extraordinary natural beauty, amazing cultural diversity, relaxed lifestyles and quirky charms; a place where old school blends with new age and nature sets the pace.
At the southern rim of the ancient Mount Warning (Wollumbin) shield volcano, the rolling green hills are dotted with quaint villages, neat rows of macadamia and coffee and hidden valleys enshrouded with mystical rainforest.
The aboriginal people of this area are the Widjabul. This country is sacred to them and we urge you to respect their land, culture and beliefs.
Nestled on the banks of the Wilsons River that meanders between the rainforest and the sea, is a city that boasts the culture and convenience of a major regional centre and an unrivalled quality of life for its residents and visitors alike.
In this unspoiled, lush and laidback pocket of far northern NSW, the hinterland City of Lismore is the economic and cultural hub of the Northern Rivers region.
It is an extraordinary place – a place of amazing cultural diversity and creativity in a truly beautiful natural environment. The city and the rolling green hills that surround it are alive with a creative spirit reflecting our relaxed lifestyles and the beauty and majesty of our natural landscape.

Nimbin
Nimbin, our most famous village, is the spiritual home of Aquarius and must-see for visitors to the Northern Rivers. The main street is a living work of art, with characters as colourful as the shopfront facades.
Lismore and Nimbin are on the doorstep of several magnificent World Heritage National Parks offering easy access to walking trails, waterfalls that cascade into clear mountain pools and breathtaking lookouts. Ancient rainforests shroud the hills, ridges and valleys of the Nightcap and Border Ranges National Parks. There is even a rainforest remnant in Lismore’s City Centre.
