Lismore is a city in northeastern New South Wales and the main population centre in the City of Lismore local government area. It is situated on a low flood plain on the banks of the Wilsons River near the latter's junction with Leycester Creek, both tributaries of the Richmond River which enters the Pacific Ocean at Ballina, 30 km to the east; the original settlement developed as a grazing property became a timber and agricultural based town and inland port based around substantial river traffic, which declined and ceased around the mid twentieth century. The city is located on the Bruxner Highway which crosses the Wilsons River at Lismore, was a stop on the Casino-Murwillumbah railway line, it is the home of one of the three campuses of Southern Cross University. With its low lying position adjacent to the Wilsons River which can rise following periods of high rainfall in its catchment, the centre of Lismore is susceptible to flooding, although it is protected by a system of levees and flood gates.

A budget was announced for additional flood mitigation works in November 2018. As at June 2018 the urban population of Lismore was 28,720; the city of Lismore lies in the Bundjalung people's nation area. However, the actual area of the Bundjalung people from Evans Head is under examination, as well as the actual origin of the name Bundjalung, it has been suggested that the Aboriginal people called the area Tuckurimbah meaning "glutton."The European history of the city begins in c. 1843: a pastoral run covering an area of 93 square kilometres was taken up by Captain Dumaresq at this time covering the Lismore area and was stocked with sheep from the New England area. Ward Stephens took up the run in the same year, but the subtropical climate was unsuited for sheep grazing, so it was abandoned. In January 1845, William and Jane Wilson took it over; the Wilsons were Scottish immigrants, who arrived in New South Wales in May 1833. Mrs. Wilson named the property after the small island of Lismore, one of the Inner Hebrides in Loch Linnhe, Argyleshire.

In 1855, the surveyor Frederick Peppercorne was instructed by Sir Thomas Mitchell to determine a site for a township in the area. Peppercorne submitted his map of the proposed village reserve on 16 February 1856; the chosen site was William Wilson's homestead paddock and the area was proclaimed the "Town of Lismore" in the NSW Government Gazette on 1 May 1856. The township was soon settled and its Post Office was opened on 1 October 1859. From the 1840s onwards, timber cutters moved up the Richmond River from its Ballina entrance felling timber from the extensive untouched subtropical rainforest covering the region known as the "Big Scrub". At that time there was no substantial network of roads so rivers were the primary means of access and bulk transportation. For the second half of the 19th century the primary industries of the Lismore region continued to be cattle grazing and timber, supporting a growing economy and population and the development of secondary industries which included ship building, saw milling, tallow manufacturing and more.

As the Big Scrub was cleared, it was replaced with new pasture which formed the basis of a flourishing dairy industry, many processing plants and dairy cooperatives were established throughout the region. Infrastructure development in Lismore continued apace, including the presence of three schools by 1879, a new Government Wharf in 1880, two new bridges over the river in 1884 and 1885, a new post office building. At the beginning of the 20th century, river navigation was still the mainstay of transportation in Lismore, the principal operator being the North Coast Steam Navigation Company; the dairy industry was performing employing hundreds of small family-owned operations, the Lismore region becoming the centre for dairy production from the surrounding farms and the richest dairy district in Australia. A railway station had opened in 1894 as a stop on the Murwillumbah railway line which ran from Lismore to the coast at Byron Bay and on to Murwillumbah, subsequently in 1903 inland to Casino, but was not connected to any national network.

However as the century progressed, development of a better road network and the advance of motor transportation made inroads into the long term success of both the river and rail traffic which declined: river traffic was affected by requisitioning of ships during the second world war and the largest shipping line operating on the two arms of the Richmond River, the North Coast Steam Navigation Company, went into liquidation in 1954. Meanwhile economic development in Lismore continued, including construction of a new School of A

The southern chestnut-tailed antbird is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in the Amazon Rainforest in far southern Colombia, eastern Peru, northern Bolivia, western and central Brazil; the southern chestnut-tailed antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1857 and given the binomial name Myrmeciza emimelaena. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that the genus Myrmeciza, as defined, was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera the southern chestnut-tailed antbird and the northern chestnut-tailed antbird were moved to a newly erected genus Sciaphylax

Falling Swinger is the seventh studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Stephen Cummings. The album was released in August 1994; the album was listed was in Australian Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "100 Essential Australian albums". Shaun Carney from Australian Rolling Stone gave the album 4 out of 5 saying "Cummings has, during the past 10 years, made several great, if underappreciated, albums; this could well be his best." Adding "Without doubt, the album, produced by Steve Kilbey, is a bold departure for. Kilbey appears to have viewed Cummings' talent as being something lighter than air and has loosened the performer's moorings; this has enabled Cummings to drift upwards, into a world of soundscapes, transforming his approach to songs and singing and allowing him to shuck off the last discernible traces of his influences. Falling Swinger sees Cummings as a man liberated from his age. Jon Casimir from Sydney Morning Herald said "This is the best album Stephen Cummings has made. It's the best local album of 1994.

Falling Swinger is a drifting, dreamy travelogue, a collection of realised, intoxicating visions." Adding "Produced by The Church's Steve Kilbey, it displays a revitalised and realigned Cummings, bursting with creativity". Toby Creswell from Juice magazine said "...the tunes range from raw confessions to cooked commercial pop... sublime, Cummings at his best."
