Just an update re our new (temp) pop-up shop at 3/131 Summerland Way, (3 down from the cnr of Stratheden st). Slowly but surely we are getting there with a few more brochures, maps etc. Our main furniture is yet to arrive but we are open for all enquiries from visitors and locals on Tues & Thurs 10am-2pm & Sat 10am-1pm, so please do call in and say hi, or ask us a question. The more the merrier, especially when it comes to statistics to prove to the Hierarchies that we are needed. We have re-established our Community Library for reading books and currently have a good selection. FREE books for the taking, swapping etc or we will kindly accept donations to keep the library operating. "It won't happen overnight, But it will happen" is our motto at present, so keep in touch, pop in, as we don't want to loose our presence in our lovely town, ".Gateway to the Rainforest".
We are also looking for extra volunteers to join our team and help learn the ropes so we can be open on more days, so if you are interested, pop in and have a chat, or contact Joe Allen at Kyogle Council, 66321611 and have a talk to him. Cheers from the VIC Vollies.

Great News;
As of Tues 19th July, the Kyogle & Villages Info Centre will temporarily (for at least the next few months) be located in a pop-up shop in the main street of Kyogle. Located at 3/131 Summerland Way. 2nd shop along from Clay Corner. We will be open on Tues & Thursday 10am-2pm & Sat 10am-1pm for all your tourist enquiries. Services will be limited at first and hopefully expanding as time goes by. Renovations for the Info Centre are ongoing at our main location at the bottom end of town and may still take a few months. So at present, a small amount is better than none. so please do drop by when we are open, say Hi, as every face that comes through the door, is encouraging to us, that we can still provide a face to face service to those who require it. Parking may not be as available as usual, but do park near the swimming pool, post office end of the main street, and walk the short distance for the usual pleasant, face to face experience about local info.
Cheers from your dedicated, local volunteers.

NOTE; May 2022- Re Bell's Bay Camping Ground, Toonumbar Dam.

Closed till further notice. With the continuing wet weather, the Bell’s Bay camping ground is too soggy, muddy, etc so will remain closed till there is sufficient sunshine to dry the areas out. It is too risky to allow any type of vehicle access to the camp ground for fear of our clients getting bogged, plus too much activity then would require, for the muddy conditions, a lot of work for latter on to bring it back to normality.

We apologies for this inconvenient, but the safety of our patrons is foremost. For up to date information keep any eye on either our page or the Bells Bay website.

Thanking everyone for your patience and understanding.

Hi Travellers.
with the extra rain experienced around the shire overnight, once again there have been some minor flooding, which by now has probably subsided, but some new landslips appeared on the Bruxner Highway, on the Mallanganee Range on the way from Tabulam to Casino, so please drive to current conditions. I believe Council workers did some cleaning up during the night but the areas will be down to one lane. As road conditions vary each day, especially around the northern rivers, please drive safely and to conditions. Check out My Road Info before travelling to be aware of any issues.

17/05/2022

The Info Centre is obviously temporarily closed. It has been awhile since we put anything up here, but with flood damage and the loss of everything, we are now awaiting renovations. We will post things up when we can, thanks for your patience. Some local info and regional map will be available to view in outside display unit on side wall in alcove near toilets.
