CAPE BYRON

The friendly town of Byron

Bay on NSW ’s northern

coast is home to stunning

beaches, lush rainforests

and new-age retreats, and is

also the setting for three of

the country’s most popular

music events: Byron Bay

Bluesfest, the Falls Festival

and Splendour in the Grass.

There’s no shortage of

breathtaking views, and

some of the best can be

found by embarking on

the Cape Byron Lighthouse

loop walk starting at

Wategos Beach. Take the

detour to Fisherman’s

Lookout to watch the surfers

• and dolphins – at The Pass.
  Continue on the track and

you’ll also visit the most

easterly point of mainland

Australia, while the lighthouse

itself offers a great vantage

point for spotting whales.

Complete the circuit with

a stroll through a rainforest

before returning to the water.
