Last week we jetted off to Byron bay for a short break before Lara had to head back to the UK. We flew up on Wednesday and rented a small house in an area called Suffolk Park which faced onto Tallow Beach - a 7mile long stretch of pristine beach surrounded by national park.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't great - it rained for two out of the 4 days - but we used the time to explore the local countryside - famous for dairy farming, macademia nuts and hippies!? We travelled to Lismore (dull), Mullambimby (quaint), Lennox Heads (wet) and Nimbin (stoned).
On the sunny days we spent time on Byron and Wategos beaches watching the surf schools and enjoying the sunshine, and ventured up to Byron lighthouse which is the most Easterly point on mainland Australia. We also ate well! Thanks to Richard & Annie we found a great Fish shop in Byron called Mongers and barbecued every night consuming more than our fair share of Prawns which were ridiculously cheap.
We all loved Byron and will definitely head back again, but maybe in summer next time!
