Tropical Northern Rivers Region of NSW, Australia
Set close to the rim of the world's largest extinct shield volcano
and home to the famous Tyalgum Classical Music Festival, Tyalgum Village is located a
scenically beautiful 30 minute drive from the centre of Murwillumbah on the far
North Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
 Tyalgum
is a small village consisting of the Tyalgum Store & Post Office,
Tyalgum Pub which is also home to the local Swimming Pool,
Tyalgum Hall, CTC, Garage, Paddingtons Boutique and curiousity shop, several
galleries and the charming Flutterbies Cafe.
Although seemingly an odd place to stage a now internationally famous annual festival
of Classical Music, the Tyalgum Festival
started in 1991 after concert violinists Carmel Kaine and John Willison fell under the acoustic spell
of the Tyalgum Hall. The Festival has been held annually in September ever
since, with numerous artists ranking the 1908 Hall
alongside some of the best concert venues in the world.
Tourists and locals alike love to visit
Flutterbies Cottage Cafe.
Housed in the historical bakery building founded in 1927, the lovely ladies of
Flutterbies have a warm welcome and big smile ready for all.
Whether to pore over the range of gifts in the Victorian style gift shoppe, to
relax in the peaceful courtyard over coffee and home-made cake, choose something for the garden
from their charming nursery or indulge in one of their famous home-made pies for
lunch, Flutterbies can be a quick visit or a longer indulgence depending on your
mood. The delicious home-made rose water lemonade is a definite "must try" on
your visit though.
Currently Flutterbies is open from Wednesdays to Mondays (Closed
Tuesdays) from 10am to
5pm, but "special event" dinners are held regularly. Phone (02) 6679 3221

Once refreshed at Flutterbies, take a stroll down Coolman Street to peruse the
local handy-craft shop or take a photo of the original school house, built in
the 1920s and still going strong.
