The western rim of the Mt Warning caldera runs north through the Northern Rivers, in the triangle held by Kyogle, Lismore and Nimbin. Billen Cliffs Village sits along one stretch of it — 800 acres, 115 households, a slow road through regrowth that has been coming back since 1982. We acknowledge the Widjabal Bundjalung people as the traditional custodians of this country, and pay respects to elders past, present, and emerging.
Eight sections, each doing one job. The village describes the place. History is the long version of how it came to be. The map shows it spatially. Properties is the shopfront for sales and longer rentals. Stay is for short cabin visits. Visit is the working programme. Bylaws and strata is reference material for owners. Contact is a directory.
We're putting together a programme for visitors who want to spend a week or two working at Billen — bush work in the regrowth, renovations on shared buildings like the Community Hall and the Arts & Crafts Centre, weed-choked dams that need clearing. Cleared paddock that has been coming back since 1982 still needs hands. Thirty-year-old buildings need them too. So do the dams. Billeted with residents who know what they're doing. Real work, not eco-tourism.
