Kyogle & Surrounds, NSW

Alright, let’s chat about Kyogle Council! Nestled in the stunning Northern Rivers, this spot is a nature lover’s paradise! It’s super convenient—just a couple of hours from Brisbane and a stones’ throw from the Gold Coast. You’ve got epic spots like the Border Ranges National Park and some heritage gems scattered around, including the old growth forests. The vibe here? Pretty laid-back with a cool mix of people, though the median age leans a bit older (hey, wise folks!).

There’s a real sense of community, but the population’s been doing a bit of yo-yoing. And while the council had a rollercoaster ride with the government, it’s still kicking! With a predominance of English speakers, it’s got that classic Aussie feel. So if you’re after stunning landscapes and an unhurried lifestyle, Kyogle‘s your jam!
