About Terragon

Terragon is a small rural locality in the Tweed Shire of north-eastern New South Wales, nestled in the lush hinterland south-west of Murwillumbah. Located within Tweed Shire Council, the locality sits amid a landscape shaped by the Tweed Valley's rich volcanic soils and tropical-influenced climate. At the 2021 Census Terragon had a population of just 98 residents, reflecting its character as a scattered rural community set across approximately 14 square kilometres of hinterland country.

The surrounding Tweed Shire hinterland is known for its diverse agriculture including sugarcane, bananas, and tropical fruit, as well as the dramatic backdrop of Wollumbin (Mount Warning). Terragon residents typically rely on Murwillumbah — the Tweed Shire's main town — for schools, shops, medical services, and public transport connections, a drive of roughly 15–20 minutes. The locality's rural setting, warm northern NSW climate, and proximity to the Gold Coast make it an appealing choice for those seeking a quieter agricultural or hobby-farm lifestyle.
