Coraki

Located on the meandering Richmond River this quaint country town offers great recreational activities such as water skiing and fishing. The main street of Coraki faces the river, a lovely park sloping down to a small sandy beach on the riverfront. Enjoy the landscape of Australia's farming industry, particularly sugar cane, as it is highlighted in the spectacular sunsets. Coraki also reflects the rich heritage of the area with historic builduings throughout the town. Once a bustling river port of wharves and cranes, coastal freighters, timber mills and boat yards, the village is now, as it has always been, a meeting place, not just for the two major rivers of the district, but also for its people. Known now as the 'Tea Tree Capital' each year in October the festive Tea Tree Art Prize and ArtsFest draws many artsists and patrons to the town.
