Murwillumbah is a town in Northern Rivers, in northern New South Wales.
Murwillumbah is about a 132 km drive from Brisbane CBD. From Brisbane, use the M1 south, past the NSW border, and take the exit at Tweed Valley Way (Tourist Drive 40) and continue for 20 km until Murwillumbah. While the motorway is good quality, Tourist Drive 40 is quite winding as it climbs the Great Dividing Range.
Murwillumbah also has an airport, but scheduled with very few flights, mostly charter.
