About Tyalgum Creek

Tyalgum Creek is a small rural locality in the Tweed Valley hinterland of far northern New South Wales, situated within the Tweed Shire local government area south of Murwillumbah. The locality takes its name from the creek that winds through lush green valleys flanked by the rugged caldera rim of the ancient Tweed volcano, part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. With a very small permanent population, Tyalgum Creek is a quiet farming and lifestyle locality set amid one of Australia's most scenic hinterland landscapes.

The rolling hills and subtropical rainforest surroundings of Tyalgum Creek attract those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle away from urban centres. The nearby village of Tyalgum provides a small community hub, while Murwillumbah offers schools, shops, and services approximately 20 kilometres to the east. The broader Tweed Valley region is popular for its artistic communities, heritage orchards, and proximity to both the coast and the ancient Wollumbin (Mount Warning) caldera.

Tyalgum Creek falls under postcode 2484 and is governed by the Tweed Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Richmond, while state elections fall under the Tweed electorate.
