Lismore

Renowned for its rolling green hills and picturesque countryside, the region is bursting with a kaleidoscope of cultural activities, and has a unique flavour that is difficult to define. Lismore is situated on the Far North Coast of NSW just 30 minutes inland from Byron Bay and Ballina. With a population of 46,000 Lismore is the business centre for the region. Visitors have the option of visiting secluded retreats, natural wonders, bustling country markets and historic country pubs. You’ll find award winning restaurants and fantastic regional agricultural produce available at roadside stalls. There’s something for everyone in this unique location, particularly if you are looking for something out of the ordinary. Lismore’s “Rainbow Region” label reflects this wonderful diversity and penchant for natural living. The Aquarius Festival in Nimbin in 1973 started the influx of artists, writers and other creatives who have opted out of city living. They add colour and vibrancy to the region. The city of Lismore is the business capital of the region. Lively theatre culture, alfresco cafes, art galleries and a University offer you more variety than your average country town. Lismore has the largest per capita population of artists in Australia, resulting in a diverse range of cultural activities on offer in this bohemian town. In Lismore you’ll find high quality exhibitions, performances and festivals including works by nationally and internationally famous Lismore-based artists. From musicians to filmmakers, wood workers to poets, dancers to painters – you’ll be hard pressed to find a more culturally diverse community. Useful Links
