Mark, Wintersun festival is on at the tweed/Coolangatta in the week before the Nats. It's all about cars and rock'n'roll. Runs for 10 days finishing on the queens birthday weekend. Might be worth a thought for a holiday on the goldie before the cruize back down to Yamba.

Accomadation can be pretty scarce on the southern end of the coast, But if you want to be up the north end near the theme parks for the kiddies, then there should be plenty. Check out their web site to do some planning.
