Experience a family holiday adventure with a difference!Nymboida, 40km from Grafton is the outdoor adventure capital of the Clarence Valley. Being located along the rugged Nymboida River and Goolang Creek it makes Nymboida the perfect spot to try your hand at some white-water rafting, kayaking or canoeing. A hydro-electric power station pumps water from the Nymboida River and then releases into Goolang Creek, creating one of Australia's most exciting white water courses. Also on offer are adrenalin pumping activities of abseiling, canyoning and rock-climbing. The perfect place for those that enjoy white-knuckle excitement.
The Nymboida River also shelters one of the North Coast's largest platypus communities. These delightful creatures can be viewed in the early morning and late afternoon in these clean waters.
The Nymboida Coaching Station Inn offers 4-Star luxury accommodation overlooking the river and the Great Dividing Range. Enjoy a spectacular setting in the unspoilt Australian countryside. www.coachingstation.com
