After enjoying lunch at the Astoria Cafe in Murwillumbah with our friend Shane (aka Julia), we drove back via the village of Tyalgum. To get there you leave the road between M'bah and Uki just a few kms out from M'bah and travel through some lovely country on the western side of Wollumbin. Tyalgum owes its existence to the 'red gold' of the red cedar, the logs of which were transported down the creeks into the Tweed River. Today, the village of about 250 people, is apparently known for its classical music festival that takes place in early September in the historic hall, part of which is also now an art gallery, which we had a look at.
Frrom Tyalgum the road took us back to join the Murwillumbah-Kyogle road just west of Uki. On the way there, though, we had tremendous views from the west to Wollumbinm allowing us to see the ancient volcanic remnant from a very different perspective.
Absolutely glorious day, one of those big blue sky days I love so much.
And what a day to be doing some back-roading, exploring parts of our region which are still new to us.
