Coraki
Coraki, a quiet town located at the junction of the Richmond and Wilsons River, lies in a fertile plain about 20km south of Lismore. Originally acting as a logging port downstream from Lismore, the town now serves the local beef, dairying and sugar industries as those operations eventually ceased. Despite lacking any considerable commercial activity (due to the close proximity of Lismore and Casino), the town's foreshore parklands are excellent, several historic buildings are still standing from the town's heyday, with boating and fishing popular on the waterways.
