Murwillumbah

Murwillumbah extends along the Tweed River banks, surrounded by the McPherson Range and positioned 132 kilometers south of Brisbane in New South Wales.

The town experienced a transformative period after 1894 when the rail extension from Lismore connected it, leading to increased agricultural development and population growth.

The Tweed Regional Art Gallery displays an extensive collection of local and national artworks while preserving the region's artistic heritage through regular exhibitions.

The town center provides essential services including medical facilities, educational institutions, and shopping areas, serving residents from surrounding agricultural communities.

In 1978, Murwillumbah became the location of Australia's largest bank robbery, with thieves using magnetic drills to steal 1.7 million dollars.
