The Tweed continued...
Swim, surf or snorkel. Cruise the rivers, water ski or indulge in some fishing, night and day. Golf, cycle or spread a picnic lunch. Take a horseback ride, climb a rock or take a hike. There is no shortage of things to do and places to do them. Explore on your own or join a tour by day, night or overnight. Drive yourself, bus it, hop a boat or catch a coach. Have fun while you learn at our environmental theme parks and cultural centres. Become fascinated by the area's Aboriginal and European heritage at the Minjungbul, Tweed River and Lower Tweed Museums. Visit the Tweed River Art Gallery, one of the country's finest regional art galleries and home to the nation's richest portrait prize. Potter through village galleries where fine local arts and crafts attract collectors and tourists. Enjoy outdoor markets every weekend throughout the Tweed. Or head off to a licensed sporting club for swimming, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, aerobics, football - or whatever moes you.
If you forget anything on your travels, don't worry. Tweed has two major shopping malls, in Tweed Heads and Tweed Heads South, with nationally known retailers and supermarkets.
