Tour the Heart of the Caldera

We invite you to experience the historic village of Tyalgum – ‘The Heart of the Caldera’. Tyalgum has become an increasingly popular destination for visitors to the Tweed Valley, recently recognised by Tourism Australia as ‘Australia’s Green Cauldron’ and one of the top 8 national landscape destinations in Australia.

Flutterbies Cottage Café is offering guided tours of the area with local bush poet, Dennis Scanlon:

Dennis will join your group in Murwillumbah and as he explains the history of this unique area, take in the spectacular views on your journey to Tyalgum.

  • First stop Flutterbies Cottage Café, for Devonshire tea and a recital of bush poetry.
  • Then relax and enjoy the main street, visiting local shops and art galleries including The Little Shop Next Door, Paddington of Tyalgum, the General Store and Tyalgum Hotel.
  • Tour the Caldera, including a short trip to a dairy farm and the Pinnnacle Ridge lookout, to take in the majestic views of Mount Warning and the Border Ranges.
  • Return to Flutterbies Cottage Café for a delicious lunch followed by a taste testing of local jams and honeys.
