Green Cauldron Panorama - continues to impress
A year on from the devastating flood in the Tweed catchment and six months since its relocation from the now derelict former Murwillumbah Visitors Centre, the mighty Panorama painting is still impressing visitors. Fitting perfectly around the walls of the function room above the Courthouse Hotel in Main Street it offers a spectacular interpreted view from the summit of Wollumbin Mt Warning, as well as being a great location as a meeting room.
Visitors who had experienced the Panorama in its previous location have commented on how even more realistic it looks in its new home.
Open 10am - 4pm (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Entrance adjacent to the Court House Hotel, 60 Main St., Murwillumbah.
Panorama Meeting Room
Tweed Landcare Inc (TLI) have taken up the offer to hold their monthly meetings in the Panorama room, which can comfortably host, and cater for up to 35 people. The room is available at no charge.
Recently, Tweed Landcare hosted Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council representatives Maurice Gannon and Warren Phillips who conducted a seminar in the Panorama Room to inform TLI group coordinators, bush regeneraters and project managers how they can incorporate aspects of the Tweed's Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan into their work site activities and planning for future projects.

Murwillumbah Newsagency Collaboration
A comprehensive range of greeting cards showcasing our magnificent Tweed Valley is now available. A partnership with Murwillumbah Newsagency, photographer Mark Brombal and Caldera Wildscapes has resulted in 55 different cards featuring superb images of our landscapes, wildlife, villages and rural life. Please call in to the newsagency (just down from the Panorama/CW Gallery, adjacent to the Court House Hotel) and support this initiative by purchasing some cards to send to your friends/relatives to encourage them to visit the Tweed. They will also be available from the CW Store page shortly, or enquire at info@calderaart.org.au
Aerial Images of the Tweed
Some of the superb images featured on the new series of greeting cards include those taken by a hi-res camera mounted on a drone controlled by Civil Aviation Safety Authority registered operator Mark Brombal. A new Caldera Wildscapes project involves capturing spectacular images and footage of the Tweed River and its catchments for the eventual production of a cinematic quality film and photo-book. Furthermore, a series of paintings by Andy Reimanis depicting aspects of the social and natural history of the Tweed River is in the making. A series of special panoramic cards of selected aerial images are also available from the Murwillumbah Newsagency and Caldera Wildscapes Gallery.
