As we've already told, aussies can travel loooooong distances just for a day's retreat to the greatest beaches. On the last weekend in Brisbane, we drove some 200km to south all the way to New South Wales and the popular beachside town, Byron Bay. Along the way, we drove through Tamborine mountain for another set of breathtaking views.
And what a place Byron Bay was. White sand beach on a long, winding bay as far as eye can see. Long waves caressing the shoreline prove a good ride for the surfers. We tried bodyboarding to feel the power of the currents. J, who had her hand in the cast (more of this coming soon) had to be the one left whining (and to get tanned as a bean) on the shore.
Looong loooooong waves
The most eastern point of the Australian continent is located in Byron Bay. We took the couple kilometer walk along the ocean in early the afternoon. It was a sunny day and the tiling of the walk path turned out to be hot - like burning hot. And we didn't wear shoes.. The resulting walk on the fiery coals was an experience to remember. Luckily Jo knew a detour along the beach, where we could cool our feet. Finally, we made it to the edge of this country - and back to the base camp as well.
Rocky gorges, spectacular big blue & ssSNAKES!
And the very Eastern edge of Australia
After a sunny day in the beach we headed to the town to have some dinner. The local must have was a super good chocolate-pecan brownie on the beach side with a lazy sunday atmosphere, acommpanied by some live music from a nearby party pub. After a quick stop to the Cape Byron Lighthouse to see the sunset, we were ready to head back home.
And to leave the Rocky Zen of Byron Bay
