Lismore sits at the heart of the Northern Rivers on the lands of the Widjabul Wiabul People of the Bundjalung Nation.

The main central business district is located around a square block, and is accessible from the Lismore Regional Gallery by a pathway from the Gallery and Lismore Quad to Keen St, this block is interconnected by a series of arcades and laneways. Exploring these arcades, streets and laneways you will come upon many small cafes, designer shops, heritage buildings, a growing number of small resturants and bars, and another gallery — The Back Alley Gallery, where street artists from across the world have created over 60 works in a series of Lismore laneways. The Thursday evening Farmers Market in Magellan St is a great way to get a feel for our town.
