Lismore is a 2.5-hour drive from Brisbane and around 9 hours from Sydney

Nestled between the Gondwana rainforest and the Pacific Ocean, Lismore is the cultural and economic capital of the Northern Rivers region of NSW. The topography combines mountainous terrain, majestic rivers and flat plains. It's a beautiful natural environment that plays a central role in the quality of life for the community. The sub-tropical climate, diversity of flora and fauna, abundance of natural attractions and proximity to broader Northern Rivers assets make Lismore and its villages an idyllic place to call home.
