For Visitors to Bellingen Shire
Relax and be inspired
Location halfway between Sydney and Brisbane just south of Coffs Harbour. See below for more detailed directions, or view on the map in our sidebar.
Variety is the spice of life and Bellingen Shire certainly has that – Dorrigo mountains, Bellingen valleys and Urunga seaboard. The same can be said for the enormous range of creative activities for your enjoyment during Arts Week. Be sure to look under “Other” you may be surprised! Whats On
Our Artists – Amongst our local artists we have some extraordinarily talented and successful people by international standards. Be sure to read the artists’ profiles so you don’t miss the opportunity to see their work.
Plan your stay here to allow plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the Arts Week programme and all the other possibilities. Maybe visit the rainforest or hire a canoe?
A picture is worth a thousand words. This region is a photographer’s paradise, nature at its best, heritage buildings and unspoilt beaches.
