Fingal Heads

"Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R. Tolkien.


Embarking on enchanting journeys that show the beauty and wonder of nature is not something that could be passed up, especially if, like me, you love to travel.
That is how one ends up at the majestic Fingal Heads, nestled in the heart of the Tweed Valley, in NSW.

Here you'll discover a natural wonder that is reminiscent of the famed UNESCO Giants Causeway World Heritage Site in Northern Island. Fingal Heads is the gateway to an awe-inspiring natural beauty. Behold the awe-inspiring Giants Causeway of Fingal Heads, a magnificent spectacle shaped by ancient forces of nature. Marvel at the colossal rock pillars, sculpted by fiery lava flows which met their fate in the cool embrace of the sea, solidifying into a breathtaking geological masterpiece.

Fingal Head, reverently known by the local Indigenous community as Booninybah, meaning 'home of the giant echidna,' is a place where nature's artistry and ancient lore intertwine.
