This was a return trip for us, having visited on the
visa-validating trip only last November. Byron Bay has a really alternative feel
to it and whilst there is an element of commercialised karma - it's not built up
or over-done. Surrounded by some lovely beaches (good surfing stuff) and hosting
the whole spectrum of cafes and restaurants. Byron is very popular on the
back-packing trail. We didn't partake in any of the sea activities offered
(kayaking, scuba etc.) as we're waiting for the warmer waters further North!
This was our exit from New South Wales and entry to Queensland.....

The lighthouse at Byron and it's the most powerful in Australia. Automated since 1988 and sits on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. |

Just behind Nia you may be able to spot the migrating hump back whales...they really were in view but much easier to see with binoculars. |

Me sitting on the most easterly piece of land...felt the same as everywhere else. |

The surf beach down towards Lennox Head. |

Something we knocked up with a dessert spoon and a cornflakes bowl. Pretty good eh? |
