This week-end we had a short drive to New South Wales and Byron Bay. Ever since we arrived in Australia people would say, “You really must go to Byron Bay. You’ll love it because there are a lot of hippies there.” Now, I am not sure if they think we might be (old) hippies or if they think hippies are an interesting, endangered species. No matter. Byron Bay is a wonderfully relaxed and beautiful area. Its quite on the other end of the spectrum from the chaos here on Surfers Paradise.
We had drinks at Beach Hotel.
We stood on the most eastern point of Australia. Hailed by the Cape Byron Lighthouse, this is the point that offers special significance for contemplating the Age of Aquarius and heralding in the New Year. Just to round things out a fantastic blues festival is held on Easter week-end.
