If you’re feeling adventurous while you’re in Lismore you can take a drive around the Mount Warning (Wollumbin) caldera. Wollumbin is the extinct volcano responsible for the rich flora and fauna our area is known for. You can traverse the rim by driving North to Murwillumbah via Bangalow and Mooball, heading west to Uki, south to Kyogle and then back to Lismore. It is about a 3 hour trip full of stunning views, beautiful towns and endless photo opportunities.
