TWEED HEADS

Introduction

The New South Wales town of Tweed Heads sits on the state border and forms half of the Twin Towns along with Coolangatta just over the Queensland border. 
The atmosphere in the twin towns are quite different. Coolangatta turns its high-rise face towards the Pacific and the ocean swells that bunch-up around Point Danger. By contrast Tweed Heads hugs the coiling banks of Terranora Creek and the Tweed River. Strict building codes and liberal gambling laws further distinguish the New South Wales town from its Queensland neighbour. 
In Tweed Heads opulent licensed clubs are the dominant landmark and high-rise building has been somewhat restricted. This, however, does not restrict development and new resorts are constantly under way. 
The state border meets the Pacific Ocean at Point Danger, named by Captain James Cook in 1770. The headland now features the Captain Cook Memorial to the famous navigator and the men of the Endeavour. From Point Danger spectacular view sweeps north to the jagged skyline of Surfers Paradise and south over the mouth of the Tweed River.

• For holidaymakers there is easy access to the attractions and theme parks of the Gold Coast to the north, and in contrast, to the south there is the delightful countryside inland from the coastal strip between Tweed Heads and Ballina.

• The hinterland ranges enclose three World Heritage listed national parks: Mount Warning, Nightcap and Border Ranges. All three parks which contain many rare and endangered plants and animals and various geological formations.

• The distinctively-shaped Mount Warning is the remnant of an ancient volcano and the first spot on the mainland to be warmed by the sun each day.

• Minjungbal Aboriginal Cultural Centre provides an insight into the original inhabitants of the region through a museum, a sacred bora ring and a half-hour bush walk.
