A family holiday to Yamba will probably mean days spent on the beach building sandcastles or surfing, but this isn't all that the town has to offer. If you can tear the kids away from the sand, Bowlo Leisure Centre is a great day out. Choose between ten pin bowling, a round of mini-golf, testing your skills on the rock climbing wall, or an afternoon in the soft play area with the little ones.
Any kids who are interested in history or flight will love a visit to Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome, a few miles up the coast. Open on weekends only, the museum is located on the largest Australian air base from the WWII period. There's a range of different military aircraft, many undergoing restoration by the team of knowledgeable volunteers who are happy to chat about what they're doing and about the museum's vision.
Something very different is on offer at Cardiff Alpacas, where visitors can meet the furry residents, take a tour around the farm, and enjoy a home-made afternoon tea.
