About

It has an official Beef Week which is held each May - the 'week' actually lasts for 12 days. With a population of around 12,000 it is a thriving rural centre which relies heavily on the region's cattle industry combined with the local timber industry. To appreciate the scale of the local cattle industry the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange is the largest saleyard in northern New South Wales. The town’s Heritage Trail offers a journey through time, allowing you to marvel at beautifully preserved architecture that tells the story of the area’s past. Starting at the Casino Historical Museum, you’ll find an impressive catalog of artifacts that capture the spirit of bygone eras. Don’t miss the opportunity to gaze upon the grand facades of heritage-listed buildings, including the post office, churches, and banks that line the streets, forming an eye-catching mosaic of 19th and 20th-century Australian design. Queensland capital Brisbane is the home of the Treasury Casino, which is the largest of three casinos in the state.
