Lismore is about 770 kilometres north of Sydney but only about 170 kilometres south of Brisbane.

In between the rainforest and the ocean, Lismore's location attracts people far and wide to bushwalk and picnic through World Heritage rainforests, including the Big Scrub, and explore quaint nearby villages.

Lismore has a sub-tropical climate and mixes warm temperatures with sea breezes for a pleasant climate all year around.

Lismore history

Founded in 1859, Lismore now has a population of around 50,000, largely made from up of students at the town's university.

Lismore markets and cafes

The Lismore region is popular for its markets so when you're there, check out the Lismore Markets, The Channon and the Bangalow Markets.

It also has great cafes stocked with fresh, organic coffee that'll leave you content.

Lismore outdoor activities

Have a picnic in Lismore at the Heritage Park, or go cycling and 4WDing through the Lismore region.
