Promised Lands & Never Never

Explore Promised Lands & Never Never Creek, only a 25 minute drive from Sunny Corner Pastures

Promised lands is a hidden gem found in the never never region within Bellingen on the NSW North Coast. This is a very short and easy walk but one that has much to offer.

In summer, the Promised Lands is a popular swimming spot that offers crystal clear waters for swimming. Rope swings are scattered throughout the trees for the thrill seekers wanting a rush of adrenaline. They can be found along the river in many of the swimming holes.

In the winter months, this is a place of recreational white water rafting where tour groups and equipped adventurers take to the waters and travel along the never never river.

The colour of the water as you see it in our photos is the true colour of the never never river. The minerals in the rocks the waters pass over give it the distinct blue tint.
