Tyalgum, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyalgum is a rural village of 700 people located in the Tweed Shire, in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. Located approximately 18 minutes from Murwillumbah, 45 minutes from the Gold Coast, Queensland and two hours from Brisbane.
Tyalgum is situated at the junction of Brays Creek and Tyalgum Creek. These creeks provide Tyalgum with its water supply and when the village was first settled the settlers would have used the waterway to transport the giant redcedars that they felled. Another major natural feature is the valley environment around the village created by the Border Ranges and Mt Warning.
Two of the most important manmade features in Tyalgum are the Tyalgum Hall - home of the annual Classical Musical Festival – and The Tyalgum Garage located in the old Norco Dairy Manufactory Building. Recently a new business known as Flutterbies Cottage Café opened on Coolman Street. Tyalgum is also slowly becoming more of a tourist destination and over the last few years the value of real estate has increased dramatically.
Tyalgum is temperate. It has a mean annual temperate of 18.9ºC. The rainfall is generally high with an annual mean of 1555.4 mm most of which occurs during the summer months. For the last few years the region has been suffering from drought.
Tyalgum's post code is 2484.
