Valley of the Mist
Imagine the silence of acres of pristine wetlands, a silence broken only by the calls of the native birds and the dip of a canoe paddle. This is just one of the many delights awaiting you at the Valley of the Mist located at 88 Congarinni North Road, Talarm, about 5 kilometers out of Macksville.
A working farm, comprising 106 acres, the Valley has been run for generations, initially by the Spalding family, now by the family of Dennis and Marilyn Ryan.
Now entirely devoted to farming using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods, Dennis works with nature to manage a native tree orchard, which includes lillipilli, lemon myrtle, Davidson plum, aniseed myrtle, Dorrigo pepper and macadamia.
Much of the fruit and foliage they produce is turned into gourmet bushtucker on the farm near Macksville, including salad dressings, jams, marinades and sauces.
All of this the rare and beautiful East Coast wetlands and the sustainable orchards tucked into the remains of rain forest can be sampled by tour or taste.
Valley of the Mist offers seasonal Walking and Bushtucker Tours and Tastings as well as a unique Canoe Tour of the acres of wetlands. As Dennis says: It a wondrous place. I still get joy out if it.
As one visitor said:" What a brilliant way to spend a day".
For more information and to book your tour visit www.valleyofthemist.com.au or phone (02) 6568 3268.

Bowraville Theatre
History of the Theatre
The Bowraville Theatre was built in 1940 and like many -picture shows- in country towns, was at the hub of the social activity on a Saturday night.
Like many businesses in country towns, it operated as a racially devided business. Aboriginals had to not only buy their tickets separately, enter the Theatre by a separate side entrance, occupy inferior seating below an interior partition, but they had to do this after the program had begun.
The building was given a second lease of live, as "the Remant Basket." in the late 1960s. It went through several changes over a number of years until it eventually later fell into disrepair.
Eventually a few local people who were interested in the community and in various fields of the art, saw the need for a live performance venue in the area. In 2000, their dreams began to turn to reality. They built awareness in the community and a public meeting was held in the foyer of the Theatre.
Over 100 people attended the meeting about saving the Theatre. They voted unanimously to form a group with the aim of restoring the Theatre and providing a venue for cultural activities.
From this meeting, the Bowraville Arts Council was established. One of its first projects was to set up a cinema task force to plan to purchase and restore the cinema. The building was purchased, in the name of the Nambucca Shire Council, in October 2001, and restoration plans began. Since that time the Bowraville Arts Council members have raised around $ 650,000. This includes grant from the Commonwealth, State and Local Governments, plus fundraising, from social events, shows, raffles and the like. Members and friends from the town have also contributed thousands of dollars in unpaid labour to achieve the impressive restoration. On Friday 29 August 2003, the Bowraville Theatre re-opened its doors. The indigenous community held a smoking ceremony and performed a welcome dance. It was an event celebrated by the whole town and since then, the Theatre has been the venue for a remarkable variety of film and stage performances. The Theatre is run by a dedicated team of volunteers from the Arts Council and it has gone from strenght to strenght hosting plays, concerts, workshops and fashion parades.
BOX OFFICE CAFE
The Box Office Cafe opend Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays as well as for all firlms, live shows and theatre events. It serves delicious cappuccinos, teas and soft drinks, a variety of cakes and light refreshments. it is a vital part of the Theatre. Originally set up by volunteers, the Box Office Cafe is now professionally managed.

Crosswinds Wetlands Reserve- Wetlands Boardwalks & Picnic Area, Macksville
In 1893 William and Christina Field selected 85 acres of land and built a settler's cottage on the rise overlooking this wetland which formed part of the property "Crosswinds". They cleared and fenced the land, commenced farming and raised a large family.
The original settler's cottage was later demolished and the timber used to construct the similar styled " Mary Boulton's Pioneer Cottage" in River Street Macksville.
Over the years and today the wetlands have been kept isolated from grazing livestock, this has encouraged the environment to flourish with native and exotic trees and grasses.
Visit the wetlands for a walk or picnic and learn about the aboriginal significance of this area.

Gordon Park Rainforest & Nature Walks Nambucca Hds
The Gordon Park Rainforest & Nature Walks of Nambucca Heads meander through a regenerating remnant rainforest and are uniquely located in the midst of the residential area.
The walks are not arduous, but why not linger a while as well, just sitting around relaxing and enjoying the magnificent natural environment of this unique coastal bush land, so close to town.
While sitting quietly, look for the eastern yellow robin and the rufous fantail or some of the many other local and migratory birds that make this forest their home.
While walking along, listen for the whip-bird and the cat-bird. Notice the changes in the vegetation, from the eucalyptus and brush box on the drier ridges to the many number of rainforest species as you move down the slopes to the wetter and more protected areas, finally reaching the melaleucas, figs and callistemons in the swampy parts. Be sure not to miss the pioneers well.
Where thickets of lantana and intruding camphor laurels have been removed, we've been helping the regeneration process with plantings of local varieties. The arboretum at the northern end of the tennis courts is a special case; it was planted with rainforest species from other parts of NSW and QLD for educational purposes.
Enjoy the forest and the vistas that can be glimpsed along the way and please leave only your footprints behind you.

Perry's Lemon Myrtle
All of Perry’s Lemon Myrtle products contain pure Lemon Myrtle Oil, which is helpful as an antibacterial, antiviral and germicidal ingredient and extracted from the Australian native tree “Backhousia Citriodora”(Lemon Myrtle Tree). Research by the Charles Sturt University has shown its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties to be more effective than the better known Australian Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternanthera). Seisen University in Tokyo, Japan has demonstrated the oil is effective in treating Herpes. Lemon Myrtle Oil is a superior source of Citral ( 95%) compared with Lemon oil extracted from Lemon peel (3-10%); Lemongrass oil contains 75% of Citral.
A Chromo graphic profile is available detailing over 50 compounds contained within Lemon Myrtle oil, all other compounds being quite safe.
Flash point - 99 Celsius
Specific Density/Gravity - 0.880 - 0.910 @20 Celsius.
Therapeutic Uses
Excellent for foodstuffs and medicinal therapeutic purposes; perfumes, food flavourings, confectionary and aromatherapy. The leaves can be used in cooking, or infused and made into a tea.
Perhaps best of all aromatherapists can discover that when Lemon Myrtle oil is used in their practice, they will find an overwhelming response of how 'beautiful' the fragrance is to all that inhale it. Preliminary research is showing the oil and its wonderful fragrance to be anti depressive and genuinely uplifting.
Therapeutic Actions
Antisepitc, anti-viral, calmative, sedative and corrective
Lemon Myrtle Leaf and Oil Serving Ideas
- Add to curries or Asian dishes in place of lemongrass or Kaffir lime leaves
- Add to salad dressings
- Use in stirfries, sauces and soups
- Great in marinades for chicken and seafood
- Baked or smoked with fish
- Herbal Teas
- Aromatherpy and "Herbal Medicine"
- Chocolates
- Soaps and Disinfectants
Volatility
Oil should be stored in a dark glass container in a cool dry storage area or kept under refrigeration. Exposure to sunlight will also lead to oil deterioration. The oil volatises when heated and so should not be exposed to heat. For convenience and prevention of over use it can be added to other oils.
The oil bonds well with vitamin E or vitamin A based products.
Direct contact of 100% pure oil on the skin will cause a burning feeling on the skin. In pure concentrated form, consumption will cause harm.
