Tweed Heads, Coastal town at Queensland border in New South Wales, Australia.
The Tweed River flows through the region, creating extensive waterways before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at the town center.
European settlement began in 1844 when timber cutters established operations, leading to the development of banana, sugar cane, and dairy farming.
The Minjungbal Aboriginal Cultural Centre preserves indigenous traditions through exhibitions, nature walks, and a ceremonial bora ring site.
The Pacific Highway and Pacific Motorway connect the town to Sydney, located 830 kilometers south, and Brisbane, 103 kilometers north.
The Captain Cook Memorial at Point Danger enables visitors to stand simultaneously in New South Wales and Queensland.
