Rosebank Tourist Guide

Your tourist guide for Rosebank provides you with the essential travel resources to plan your holiday!

Nestled just a scenic drive from Lismore, the Rosebank region welcomes visitors with its lush hinterland charm and tranquil rainforest atmosphere. As you wind through this picturesque corner of the Northern Rivers, the landscape opens into rolling hills dotted with thriving macadamia orchards and boutique coffee plantations—an authentic taste of the area’s rich agricultural heritage.

At the edge of the rainforest, one of the region’s true natural icons awaits: Minyon Falls. This breathtaking waterfall plunges more than 100 metres into a deep, forest‑carved gorge, creating a dramatic panorama that draws photographers, hikers and nature lovers from across Australia. The lookout offers sweeping views over the World Heritage–listed Nightcap National Park, where ancient trees, misty gullies and the distant roar of the falls create an unforgettable sensory experience.

Visitors can enjoy well‑maintained picnic areas, scenic lookouts, and the popular Rummery Park campground, a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding rainforest. A network of walking tracks invites you to wander beneath towering eucalypts, follow fern‑lined pathways, and even trek to the base of Minyon Falls for a close‑up encounter with its cascading waters.

Just minutes before the falls, travellers will find Wren’s Rest Café, a welcoming local gem known for its striking bronze sculptures and delicious lunch and dinner offerings. It’s the perfect place to pause, refuel, and soak up the creative spirit of the region.

For personalised travel tips, maps, and the latest visitor information, the friendly teams at the Lismore and Nimbin Visitor Information Centres are always ready to help you make the most of your Northern Rivers adventure.
