About the TrailThe earliest known trail between Tweed Heads and Ballina was along the beach at low tide. Once a series of cedar-getters tracks, the trail passed through forest so dense there were only occasional glimpses of the sky. Timber cutters tracks laid the foundation for movement into the area in the 1840’s with farmers also arriving attracted by the rich volcanic soil. As settlements sprang up the paths gave way to horse tracks but transport was still difficult with tracks generally in either dust or quagmire conditions. This changed with the new railway in 1894. The railway saw rapid population expansion and the once boggy dank tracks became the blueprints for the roads we travel today.

This glorious route through rainforest and mountains, over sparkling rivers and along beautiful coastline, dotted with historical towns laden with treasures and curios is yours to enjoy along the Northern Rivers Secondhand and Collectables Trail.

GUIDE TO THE SECONDHAND AND ANTIQUE TREASURES OF THE REGION

Tweed Heads Tweed Heads, on the NSW/Queensland state border, is only five minutes from the Gold Coast airport. The area is blessed with beautiful beaches, a large river, pristine rainforests, impressive mountains and beautiful countryside. Tweed Heads itself is a large town with two shopping complexes and many major outlets to serve a growing resident population and expanding tourism industry developing along the Tweed Coast. Tweed Heads offers a range of salvage, building materials and secondhand stores to satisfy both the renovator and the collector.

Chinderah Driving south past lush green pastures and the wild foothills of the Great Dividing Range, you will find Chinderah, a peaceful riverside village with 3.5 kms of uncrowded beaches and 26 kms of walkways and cycleways nearby. Chinderah boasts one of the largest dealers in old wares in the area and the proprietor is particularly passionate about all things marine. It’s a great place to fossick for hours.

Murwillumbah With a number of historic buildings in the art deco and federation style, Murwillumbah is still a traditional agricultural centre and is located almost exactly in the middle of the Mt Warning caldera with the nearby mountain commanding almost every view. The volcanic slopes are cloaked in dense forests. The Tweed River Regional Art Gallery, at the southern end of town, offers panoramic views of the Tweed Valley. The Gallery collection includes Australian portraits of all eras, as well as works by regional artists depicting the local area. The charming old town is embracing the new wave of interest in antique and collectables and is home to the Northern Rivers Bottle and Collectors Club which hosts an annual fair in August.

Mooball A visit to the area is not complete without a visit to Mooball - a town dedicated to the cow. With cow print rocks and telephone poles, it is only natural that the Moo Moo Roadhouse and service station is a tribute to all things that moo too. Grab a burger while you check out the Hot Rod vintage and cool memorabilia.

Brunswick Heads Brunswick Heads, a small seaside town situated at the mouth of the Brunswick River, has still managed to retain its traditional family-friendly village atmosphere and offers all the simple pleasures of swimming, fishing, boating and walking. Timber bridges link the riverside to a safe, quiet beach at the mouth of the Brunswick River and to the surf beach that spans the coastline all the way south to Byron Bay. The north bank of the river hosts a protected rainforest and the southern bank provides a harbour and small marina for fishing boats and small craft. Mt Chincogan and Mt Warning provide a spectacular hinterland backdrop to the river.

Despite its small size, Brunswick offers a great mix of cosmopolitan cafes and restaurants scattered between unique fashion, homeware and healthy lifestyle shops. In addition to three op shops, a passionate group of collectors present an eclectic mix of treasures, furniture and old wares. You never know what you might find! The Old and Gold Festival held on the June long weekend each year celebrates all things old, secondhand and recycled with 90 garage sales and an indoor Secondhand Fair. With a huge range

of comfortable accommodation options, Brunswick Heads provides an excellent central base for treasure hunting in the area.

Mullumbimby Mullumbimby is a traditional Australian rural service town with a colourful twist, where traditional and alternative lifestyles blend harmoniously. Mt Chincogan dramatically dominates the local scenery. Walking tracks and picnic facilities can be found along the banks of the river in town. Brunswick Valley Heritage Park is a reserve where over 200 rainforest species from various rainforest types have been established and labelled. A collection of local history memorabilia and a shed full of old machinery and tools is to be found at the Brunswick Valley

Historical Society Museum. It’s open Fridays 11-3, by appointment, or on the third Saturday of the month, during the on-site market day. Crystal Castle, with its lush gardens and displays of crystals from around the world, is close by. The treasure hunting experience will take you from the quirky and retro clothing, furniture and nic-nac stores to the more traditional secondhand furniture outlets and the quintessential antique shop.

Byron Bay Cape Byron is the most easterly point of Australia. Its famous lighthouse has the most powerful beacon in Australia. There are several beautiful beaches with fantastic surf and magnificent scenery that attracts sky divers, hang gliders and hot air balloonists, as well as scuba diving and snorkelling in the recently established Cape Byron Marine Park. The area is also noted for its wildlife, including seasonal whale watching. Byron Bay was established in the 1870s, and before it became a renowned holiday destination had a history of primary industrial production (dairy factory, abattoirs, whaling until 1963 and fishing) and was a significant, but hazardous sea port.

Today Byron Bay’s scenery, culture, lifestyle, activities and events attract visitors from all over the world. A visit to the Arts and Industrial Estate, rich in arts, crafts, secondhand and antique furniture outlets, is a must. The town itself provides a cosmopolitan backdrop for a stroll around the streets in exploring the interesting antique and retro curios, furniture, clothes and books.

Bangalow Bangalow retains some of the region’s best street architecture. Previously the centre of the district’s dairying industry, families looking for a more peaceful lifestyle settled on rural subdivisions, taking up subtropical fruits, coffee, macadamia and herb farming, or establishing art and craft studios. Each May the Billy Cart Derby takes over the streets, providing wonderful examples of the imagination, talent and, some would say foolhardiness, of local kids and kids at heart. Bangalow Historic Museum has an interesting collection of local memorabilia. Go window shopping, find that special something amongst the many fine art, craft and homeware outlets, or do some serious treasure hunting among the collection of secondhand stores for fine antiques, old wares and collectables, vintage furniture, aged mirrors and retro furniture and gear.

Clunes Once a staging post on the Lismore to Bangalow Road, Clunes is said to be the birthplace of the area’s dairy industry and was nick-named “the Holy City” because of the number of fine early Australian churches in the village. Clunes has some beautiful examples of north coast federation houses and its old wares store reflects the village’s country style.

Lismore The city of Lismore is the major commercial, cultural and educational centre of the region and is near some of the finest sub-tropical rainforest reserves in Australia. Lismore and its surrounding hinterland, known as the Rainbow Region, contains nearly a third of NSW forest reserve. The Big Scrub was an area of land (some 75 000ha) in and around Lismore, and is believed to have been the largest single stand of subtropical rainforest in the world, before being substantially cleared by cedar cutters in the 1840’s and later by farmers. Lismore has become a major base for those wishing to pursue creative endeavours and alternative lifestyles. Thus there is a high concentration of painters, woodworkers, ceramists, filmmakers, musicians, poets, designers and dancers with many galleries, studios and theatres in the area. The award-winning Lantern Parade is a major community celebration held at the time of the winter solstice each year.

With its rich history, Lismore is a treasure trove of museums, galleries, architecture, books, antiques and curios. Lismore’s “bookbeat”, several recycled building material outlets and a strip of secondhand, vintage and collectable stores in North Lismore make a visit most worthwhile.

Alstonville More romantically known as Duck Creek Mountain in its early days, Alstonville is an Aladdin’s Cave of historic buildings, classic Australian architecture, an art gallery, stores and cafes. Among the surrounding hills is one of the last remnants of the “Big Scrub”. It is said that the soil around Alstonville is 12m deep and amongst the best agricultural land in Australia with thriving plantations of macadamias, avocados, pecans, coffee and landscaping nurseries. The Tropical Fruit Research Station and the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service northern regional headquarters manages the wide variety of parks and reserves, including the World Heritage listed parks of the Border volcano group.

Ballina The town of Ballina, located at the mouth of the Richmond River and surrounded by 32 kms of white, sandy beaches and crystal waterways, is a commercial and entertainment hub, with a blend of tranquil seaside hideaways and vibrant holiday parks and resorts. As early as 1842 cedar cutters and their families moved to the area by sea and a settlement developed. By 1853 the first sawmill was built. The growth of the town was rapid, greatly assisted by a short goldrush in the 1860s when gold was found in the sands at the mouth of the Richmond River. As people moved into the district, Ballina came to serve as a port for Casino, Lismore and the pastoral lands. Apart from numerous op shops one of Australia’s largest antique and collectable stores is to be found just on Ballina’s southern outskirts.
