Volcano Country: The landscape of the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast Hinterland region of Australia around the NSW/Qld state border was created by a now extinct volcano. The huge size of the Tweed Valley, the caldera of the Mt Warning shield volcano, gives us an inkling of what a monster it was. The volcano created the magnificent, varied landscape we see today, from towering mountains covered in sub-tropical rainforest, to the gently sloping valleys of the Northern Rivers region.

The Waterfall Way: It is only a short drive inland from Coffs Harbour or Nambucca Heads to lush mountainous rainforests on The Waterfall Way. Here you can visit one or more national parks, nature reserve, flora reserves or state forests. In among these are some excellent walking trails for all levels of fitness. One at the inland town of Dorrigo leads to a skywalk high in the rainforest canopy, not to menton the many waterfalls that have given this tourist drive its name.
