Things To Do and Stays at Tumbulgum

by Progressive Traveller | Australia , Featured , New South Wales

Tumbulgum NSW

The picturesque New South Wales village was established in 1866 and is the prettiest rural village in the Tweed Shire . Tumbulgum ( pronounced Tum-Bowl-Gum ) is located at the confluence of the Rous and Tweed Rivers; with magnificent views of the iconic and majestic ‘Wollumbin’ Mount Warning and surrounding Border Ranges. There are loads of things to do in Tumbulgum from water-based activities on the Tweed River to exploring the village’s history and landmarks. 

Initially, the riverside village was named ‘ Tweed Junction ’ in reference to the ‘meeting place of the waters’. Tumbulgum has a rich and exciting history and there are numerous reasons why you should visit this small village nestled in Northern Rivers NSW. According to the 2016 Australia census data, the population of Tumbulgum and North Tumbulgum with the NSW postcode 2490 , is 666 residents, living in 283 dwellings.

Waterfront Living

Fishing, boat cruising and water-based activities such as jet skiing and wakeboarding are popular recreational drawcards to Tumbulgum’s river life. Picnic tables and grassed areas along the riverbank are meeting places for locals and visitors. Recreational spaces include Faith Mussing Bandler Park opposite the Tumbulgum pub and Tumbulgum’s Junction Park children’s’ playground on Government Road.

Beautiful photo opportunities abound!

If you’re looking to snap a few dramatic sunset photos, head to Riverside Drive and capture the sun going down over Mount Warning. ‘ Wollumbin’ Mount Warning is the first place to see the sunlight in Australia and is the centrepiece of the Tweed Valley. Wollumbin summit track attracts thousands of visitors each year. From the summit, climbers are rewarded with 360-degree views and stunning sunrise photography. In 2015, the difficult climbing track was declared an Aboriginal Place and sacred place to the Bundjalung People.

Finding interesting photographic subjects, isn’t difficult in Tumbulgum, whether it be a dog, the landscape, a historic building or an activity on the river. It is easy to see why Tumbulgum is a photographer’s dream location.

Tumbulgum tavern   | metropolitan hotel.

Tumbulgum Tavern is part of the history and folklore of the village. The pub was established in 1887 as the ‘Metropolitan Hotel ’, it was the first unlicensed pub ( grog shanty ) and oldest pub operating in the Tweed.

The sprawling riverfront pub boasts an enormous bistro menu and $10 evening meals. Brimming with atmosphere, the Tumbulgum Tavern is the kind of community-minded pub where families are welcomed with open arms. With a shady beer garden, childrens’ outdoor playing area and an extensive kids’ menu, Tumbulgum’s longest standing pub is also one of the most family-friendly pubs in the region.

Live music and open mic sessions are regular events at the tavern. Tumbulgum Tavern is also a destination Sunday ride on two wheels; a place where motorcyclists gather to admire each other’s vintage and classic machines.    

A large picture of a groper hangs on the outside wall with a large fishing hook that hangs above it. Legend has it that Joe Ostram spotted the massive fish in the Tweed River and asked a local blacksmith to make a hook large enough to hold the hind of a calf. He baited up his hook and attached a 44-gallon drum float and bushel bag of rocks as an anchor. Joe’s gigantic catch weighed in at 362kg (800lbs) and was large enough that Joe 107kg (17-stone) was able to sit in its mouth with still some headroom.

House of Gabriel | Licensed Restaurant

House of Gabriel Restaurant is a stunning two-story white building overlooking Tweed River and Tumbulgum public jetty. The restaurant is open for lunch (Wed – Sun) and hosts monthly dinners inspired by produce grown in the Tweed Valley. Lee Kurnell and wife Joanne expanded the business since purchasing the Tumbulgum café in 2015. The owners pride themselves on the unique history and beauty of their 1913 venue. The restaurant  was formally ‘PJ Wright Bakery & Confectioner’, however, today it has become a place to experience the little and big moments in life, from a catch-up over coffee, to celebrating a special occasion. The premium venue speaks for itself with such a beautiful outlook!  It’s easy to see why House of Gabriel is a favourite wedding venue in Northern Rivers NSW.

On Friday nights, Lee cranks up the outdoor oven and creates delicious wood fired pizzas to take away or eat in. The riverside cafe is fully licensed with a gift shop of homemade preserves, fashion, homewares and knickknacks. 

Birdwing Café & Curio’s

Stepping into the Birdwing Café is like walking back in time. The old-fashioned timber house café has a small courtyard overlooking the Tweed River which is suitable for four-legged mates.

Upstairs, there are cosy corners surrounded by an eclectic mix of curios from a bygone era, new and second-hand books, art and bits and pieces for sale. The quirky café is warm in winter and airconditioned in summer.

On the front steps marks the river levels from past floods and serves as a reminder of the devastating floods in 1954 and 2017 . Birdwing is known for is generous servings of homemade desserts, delicious scones and homestyle dishes.

The Blonde Baker | Bakehouse | Coffee

Tumbulgum’s bakehouse coffee shop is the heartbeat of the small village. Nicola Kendall, the Blonde Baker is fighting the war on waste by reducing and eliminating disposable coffee cups by offering a discount to customers with reusable takeaway cups. Nicola’s aim is to showcase the best quality coffee, tea and food in a friendly and relaxed environment. The menu changes regularly and includes a selection of cakes, raw treats, burgers, salads, pastries and artisan breads. The bakehouse has views of the Rous and Tweed Rivers and the houseboats and dinghies that bob-up and down on the water.

Tumbulgum Shop & Post Office

Ferryside General Store and Post Office is a typical small town ‘one-stop’ shop exuding timeless charm with modern appeal. The character-rich building opposite the boat ramp carries traditional merchandise like ice, milk, bread, pies, eggs, confectionary, locally-made preserves and honey. Tumbulgum is one of the small regional towns that does not have mail delivered to street mail boxes. Instead, residents have to physically collect their mail from PO Boxes or collect over the counter from the Australia Post shop within the General Store.

Living Waters Church | Tweed River Chapel

Living Waters Church (formerly St Peter’s Anglican Church) was built in 1888 using locally grown timbers. In 2014, the Anglican diocese of Grafton was forced to sell the church to pay off debts.  Pastors Rob and Brenda Stuttle purchased the building and commenced the slow process of lovingly restoring the church to its former glory. The building has the original altar, church pews, exposed beams and timber floors. 

Heritage Trail | Past and Present

Tumbulgum Heritage Trail was established in 2013 in conjunction with Tumbulgum Community Association and Tweed Shire Council . Informative signs depicting life in Tumbulgum’s past have been installed at 13 sites identifying the historical significance of the landmark. The village trail is a flat walk and takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete.

There are two sites (Bluey Hill Park and Tumbulgum Historic Cemetery) across the river, on Dulguigan Road, North Tumbulgum. In 2016, Tumbulgum celebrated its 150 year as a settlement in the Tweed Valley. A monument was erected in Bluey Hill Park, recognising the site of the original settlement.

Close to the Two Hill Bridge is another sign commemorating the 1927 royal visit to nearby Stotts Island by Duke and Duchess of York. The future King George VI with his wife were visiting Australia for the official opening of Parliament House in Canberra ACT.

Tumbulgum Cemetery | Tweed Pioneers

From the inscriptions on the gravestones, it is not difficult to see that life for our early settlers and pioneers was not an easy one. The historic cemetery at North Tumbulgum hidden in the rainforest is the oldest resting place in the Tweed Valley (1883 – 1947). Many descendants continue to live and enjoy the life that their forebears created.   111 burials at the Tumbulgum Cemetery are listed on internet cemetery records site up until 1911. A map of the trail is available from Tumbulgum’s eateries and displayed in the Community Hall window on the corner of Riverside Drive and Government Road.

Husk Distillers are the proud owners of the first Forsyths copper pot still shipped from Scotland to Australia . The large copper pot still is the centrepiece of the new distillery and is affectionately named the “Fat Bastard.”

The school is part of the Story Dog program which was first trialled in 2009 at Murwillumbah East Public School.   The non-profit Story Dog organisation was created by Janine Sigley and Leah Sheldon who lived in Murwillumbah NSW. The pair saw a reading program in the USA called Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D); the first comprehensive literacy program built around the appealing idea of children and young adolescents reading to dogs. The success of the reading program has expanded throughout Australia.

A school rainforest was established in 1991. Twenty- plus years on, the trees are providing ample shade and a place to for students to relax. In September 2018, Jason King, a local indigenous artist created a masterpiece at Tumbulgum Public School. Jason is an ex-student of Tumbulgum and has strong ties with the Tumbulgum School Community.
