Dunoon

Nestled amid the lush expanse of macadamia plantations, it's no wonder that Dunoon was once hailed as the macadamia capital of Australia.

This charming village serves as the gateway to Rocky Creek Dam, a vital source of the region's drinking water and a picturesque haven for picnics and barbecues.

While swimming and boating are restricted, visitors can revel in a fantastic kids' playground and numerous nature walks, making it a perfect family-friendly destination.

Back in the village, the Dunoon General Store is on hand to cater to any last-minute needs for your outing at the dam. Alternatively, if you prefer a more sophisticated dining experience, Anna's Greek Kitchen, overlooking the verdant grounds of the Dunoon Sports and Recreational Club, offers an excellent choice for a family meal.

Dunoon is located approximately 20 kilometres from Lismore.
