Byron Bay

Following lectures on Friday September 14, Sarah A. led a crew a several beach-seeking Americans to Byron Bay for the weekend. For many of us, it was our first venture into New South Wales. Transport was provided by a Brisbane to Byron Bay shuttle service and accomadations were provided by a hostel known as The Backpacker's Inn.

One of the main activities of the visit to Byron Bay was a trek to the oldest lighthouse in Australia and the eastern-most point on the Australian mainland. Check out this view of the beach at Byron Bay along that trek.

Here is a sweet view of a headland along our trek. We thought that this was the most easterly point, but we weren't entirely sure. Also, included is Chi's account of the this glorious triumph.

The most easterly point must have been around there somewhere.

And finally we reached the famous lighthouse! It was actually quite nice.

Then it was finally time to accomplish the principle goal of our expedition to Byron Bay... lounging on the beach! Check out this fantastic shot of this lovely sun bather lounging in a sweet sand recliner! I wounder who was skilled craftsman of that superb sand creation?

Peace out kids... -Dan
