Stokers Siding & District |
|
Stokers Siding and the surrounding districts of Dunbible, Fernvale and Smiths Creek is a quiet, picturesque area set amongst rolling green pastures and sub tropical rainforest within sight of the ever present Mt Warning/ Wollumbin.
Stokers village is ideally placed 10km from Murwillumbah and 45km from both the Gold Coast and Byron Bay.
The area is surrounded by world heritage National Parks such as Springbrook, Lamington, Border Ranges and Nightcap National Park and is within easy reach of some of Australia's best beaches stretching from Coolangatta in the north to Byron in the south.
Stokers village has a number of popular arts and craft businesses including the well known Stokers Siding Pottery & Gallery housed in a historic 1921 building. A General Store/Post Office with verandah tea room is situated in the old railway station opposite the pottery.
The village has a vibrant public school, opened in 1917 which takes pride in its excellent staff, relaxed friendly atmosphere and strong parental and community support.
The village also boasts a very well used historic community hall. Amongst other things, the hall features a talent night on the first Friday of every month called “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” which guarantees a night of variety, fun and enjoyment.
