Australian Cycle Tours has announced the addition of a new family-friendly cycle trip that takes in the highlights of the scenic Tweed Valley and the northern Rivers Rail Trail.

The trip begins in the charming Northern Rivers town of Murwillumbah, located close to the NSW/Queensland border and easily accessed from the Gold Coast Airport, Byron Bay, or Brisbane. The town is surrounded by lush rainforests and is the ideal base for exploring the World Heritage-listed national parks, Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre, and the town’s colourful art and food scene.
