Chinderah is a town in the Tweed Shire. It is located south of Tweed Heads and next to the seaside township of Kingscliff. An industrial estate, golf course and small shopping precinct are located within the area.
History
First surveyed in 1863, Chinderah developed into a centre of agriculture with sugarcane as a major industry, currently a source of rum. South Sea Islanders later arrived and became victims of slavery for the recruitment of blackbirding.
In 1884, the name of the location was changed to Chinderah.
The town was bisected by the Pacific Highway in 1996.
In 2022, as a result of heavy rainfall, Chinderah was battered by floods when the Tweed River broke its banks at a recorded peak.
