Tweed Heads Nursing Life :: Within Two Hours

Everywhere you go in the Tweed Valley

your eye is drawn to the ancient volcano the Bundjalung
people call Wollumbin (cloud catcher). Captain Cook named it Mount Warning and that is the name that is used on maps and signs today.

Lots of people feel very lucky to come here for a week's holiday once a year, especially in the balmy winter weather - but you can live here all year round. Why not?

Each year Indigenous people celbrate the Wollumbin Festival in October where Aboriginal elders,  share their knowledge and stories with the  wider community, amidst a vibrant festival of  song, art, childrens' activities and environmental  sustainability workshops. 

When you stand on the beautiful long white sand beaches and look inland, the forested hills behind the Tweed coastline are part of the lava flow from that majestic volcano.

Waves to catch, mountains to climb, Fabulous National Parks, Tweed has so many attractions right at its doorstep and it's only an hour from Brisbane, the capital city of Quueensland. The area has wonderful villages where artisans practise and exhibit their arts and crafts. There is somewhere amazing to see every weekend - you could live here for a lifetime and still find beautiful tucked away places that you had missed.

And just minutes away you find yourself on the exciting Gold Coast, a shopping and dining strip that stretches for 50 kilometres up the coast towards Brisbane. Beaches, Resorts, casinos, nightclubs, bargain factory outlets, international fashion houses, theme parks, movie studios and more.
