Byron Bay is probably one of Australia's best unkept secret. Packed year round with zillions of backpackers, schoolies,and Sydneyites, it still manages to have a local quaintness intacked. It is a place one plan on stopping into for a few days. More often then not....days turn to a week and a week turned into weeks, and I could see us living here. It is that good. Perfect warm waters,warm temperatures, beautiful endless beaches, gorgeous fringing national parks and...blah..blah...blah. not unlike all the other amazing beaches we have visited on our trip.
What sets Byron apart from the others, the real draw card, is the town's hippy dippy, laid back, all about the beach and surf vibe.
Surfing is life and surfing is king. On any given day you can paddle out and be surrounded by local,tourists,young, old, women, men, beginners,and experts. You can also expect reasonable to great surf (especially for beginners) and several good places to do it.
Dreadlocks and long boards are all the rage and incense wafts drift in front of the organic cotton clothing shops. There are dozens of surf shops and the eateries along the main road front offer an array of inexpensive, delicious, ethnic food and you can expect it will be homemade, healthy and fresh.
Surfing is life and if you add a bit of Yoga and Yoghurt's you have a taste of Byron.

Grommet is surfer slang for hot young surfer. C shreds the wave at The Pass and earns the title from some of the locals.
J waves to the camera.

Hi Wendy, I used to read your Tasmanian Trail Blog and loved it, I am a Tasmanian living in West Virginia. I have recently discovered your new adventure! What a wonderful trip and such a great experience for your children.
Your pictures are great and I look forward to seeing more.

Welcome Donna,
I remember you! How facinating it would be to be a Tasmanian living into the US:)I am sure it would be a experience worth blogging. Have you got a blog?
