Advantages: location, uniquness

Disadvantages: No bus service to the lighthouse

As my trip in Australia was coming to an end I wanted to visit the town of Byron Bay. I travelled down from Brisbane (a two hour bus ride) and was amazed by what I saw.

The high street is a collection of boutique shops that offer everything from souvenirs to ice cream. The beaches looked truly amazing but sadly I didn't have time to check out the waves.

Instead I headed for the Lighthouse, it was quite a trek and sadly there's no bus service for people who don't have cars. I was also walking on a boiling hot day and when I arrived I thought I was going to pass out and had to wait for the shop to open before I could get a drink.

Once there though the views were amazing and the scenary was spectacular. If you plan a visit I definately reccommend a car if it's a warm day. Especially if you have kids as they might suffer from the walk but it's definately worth the effort.

Summary: Nice day out
