Tweed Valley... hard to leave

Reporter: Marg Werner
Our 2 weeks in the Tweed Valley has proved relaxing with warm sunny days and Dave settling in with a new whizbang fibro cast after his return from the orthopod appointment in Melbourne.  While Dave busied himself in Melb with sore paw appointments, I took the opportunity to visit Krystal Castle in the Byron hinterland.  I wandered the lush beautiful gardens, relaxed in meditation classes, had a healing through the crystals and altogether had a delightfully serene, ethereal experience...returning exquisitely embodied to take on the world.  A very tranquil experience.

This Tweed region is situated in a "volcanic caldera" originally triggered by the emptying of the magma chamber beneath a volcano.  The area consists of the largest amount of heritage listed national parks in Australia with the largest subtropical rainforest area.  Many waterways crisscross the beautiful landscape and Dave and I have spent balmy days cruising the Tweed River and enjoyed touring this picturesque area.

Cabarita beach has proved a great location, close to Byron hinterland and the many driving tours to be found as well as 20mins south of Tweed Heads and all the Gold Coast has to offer.   Dotted with eclectic cafes and lots of galleries with our favourite being Margaret Olley's permanent display of still life near Murwillumbah.  A modern permanent gallery offering space for lots of artists and sculptures and set high on the side of a hill overlooking the Tweed Valley.

We had fun taste testing cheese at a local dairy and gin at Husk Distillery... a true paddock to plate and bottle experience.  Needless to say the car is a little heavier with purchases.

Warm sunny days have us hoping that spring is beginning to appear back home in Melbourne as we say goodbye to this beautiful region, the warmth of the north and begin our trip back south.
