Murwillumbah

Murwillumbah is a real old-world charmer of a town. Great facilities and packed with interesting architecture, it's somewhat of a capital for northern NSW. It was bypassed by the freeway in the last couple of years some I'm hoping the Route 66 phenomenon isn't repeated. However there seems to be enough "critical mass" from the surrounding small towns, savvy tourists and "tree changers" like me to keep it vibrant. Fingers crossed. For more information on the town and environs, visit Murwillumbah Visitor Information at the "Big Volcano" site.

Established in 1909, the Murwillumbah Courthouse still graces the main street.	This old Local Government Offices building is still functioning in the main street of Murwillumbah.	The wooded hill immediately behind the main street in Muwillumbah is dotted with very well positioned homes like this one.
The Imperial Hotel on the main street in Murwillumbah is a statement in pink! We had a very good lunch here on the rainy day we visited.	Murwillumbah's main street and some of its shops.	The Murwillumbah Museum was unvisited by us on our visit due to time constraints, however it looks very interesting and we will be sure to visit it next time.
