Trip planner

Start in the art deco town of Murwillumbah, follow Tourist Drive 32 to Wollumbin Mount Warning National Park for a short rainforest boardwalk of the Lyrebird Track which winds through Gondwana Rainforest.

Have lunch at the iconic Mavis’s Kitchen on the way to Uki, it’s a must see (and eat!). A 20 minute drive from here and you’re in the historic village of Uki.

Visit the restored Uki Buttery, host to a thriving arts and craft community and ArtPost Uki for postal services as well as great coffee! For a sip with a view don’t miss the Mount Warning Hotel.

Wollumbin Mount Warning

Leaving Uki, towards Kyogle, turn right onto Byrrill Creek Rd and head towards Tyalgum (there is a 10km section that is unsealed).

The entrance to Mebbin National Park is on the left where you can take the Byrill Creek walk to the stand of fig trees.

Continue on the road to Tyalgum, following the signs as you go. Stock up on freshly harvested fruit and veggies from a roadside stall along the way and take a lunch break at Flutterbies Cottage in the creative village of Tylagum. Time your visit to experience the monthly Tyalgum Village Market.

After a browse through Tyalgum’s vibrant stores, continue on to Chillingham where you can wander through the Bush Tucker Farm.

At the Chillingham Bridge, turn left to Natural Bridge (16km) and Nerang or turn right to return to Murwillumbah.
