The river is enticing. The small calm beach is a delight. There is a delicious fish and chip shop at the Marina. Make sure you try the garlic prawns and the local mullet if seasonal.

It's so close, only a 15 minute walk through a sandy track. Enter from Ironbark Street which is opposite the Roadhouse Cafe on Bangalow Road.
Please note it is not patrolled - but great for a walk and a shallow splash. The tea tree creek is swimmable most of the year depending on rainfall

A great but serious walk and climb. You won't be disappointed. The walk takes approx 4 hours minimum and not for the feint hearted. Take lots of water and proper shoes.

Entry is restricted but as a birdwatcher I have access and can escort two visitors. There is a proper bird hide and lagoon filled with lily pads and if you are lucky you will see a 'Jacana' or two. The paperbark swamp is reminiscent of the 'Everglades' in America. But no Gators here !
