Byron Bay, last stop (28th-29th)


Out of the city again and through tamed countryside with grazing cattle- add more green and squint a bit and it could be England.

Byron bay's main heyday as a surfing and hippie mecca seems to have passed and these days whilst those scenes are still big it's also a prime destination for holiday makers and families.

It's a relaxed yet lively place; busy as it's a long weekend and school holidays and finding accommodation proved difficult for the first time on my trip.

The weather is a bit poor- rather overcast though not cold. The hostel's quite sociable and the 2 nights pass pleasantly but I'm feeling a bit end-of-holidayish. On my second day I walk up to the lighthouse on the edge of the coast then back around the coastal path, it's a nice coast line and if I was here for longer some surfing would be in order for sure.
