It lies 42.3 km south of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 176°T), and is situated 14.0 km south-south-east of Murwillumbah.

Pastoral paddocks, dotted with patient cattle, unfurl like well-worn quilts, bordered by stands of vibrant green rainforest that cling to the slopes. The light here, especially in the late afternoon, has a peculiar softness, an almost honeyed quality that seems to seep into the very landscape, bathing the scattered homes and farm buildings in a warm, inviting glow. The Murwillumbah caldera, a silent, ancient presence, watches over this verdant expanse, its presence felt more than seen in the lay of the land.
The story of Upper Burringbar is one of quiet persistence, woven from the threads of agriculture and a deep connection to the fertile land. For generations, this place has been a heartland for dairy farming, the rich volcanic soil yielding lush pastures that have sustained generations of families.

While dairy remains a cornerstone, the local economy has diversified, with a growing appreciation for boutique produce and a steady flow of travellers drawn to the region's natural beauty. The nearby Tweed River, a vital artery of the shire, whispers tales of its own, influencing the microclimate and the very rhythm of life in Upper Burringbar, a place that feels both timeless and quietly evolving.
