BYRON BAY

Wallpaper Description:

Byron Shire is a year-round subtropical paradise, resting at the end of a long sweeping bay, on the north coast of New South Wales. Around two hours drive south of Brisbane, Byron Bay is as much of a must-see destination as Uluru and the Gold Coast.

The climate is comfortable all year round, with warm summers and dry mild winters. A thriving resort town, Byron Bay is surrounded by 30km of clean sandy beaches.

The township is dominated by the Cape Byron Lighthouse, its halogen beam safely guiding seafarers past Australia's most easterly point. Visitors can wander along the Cape Byron walking track and watch dolphins play in the waters below and gliders soar in the thermals above. From July through to October, whales can be seen frolicking in the waters off the headland as they migrate along the eastern coast.

The pristine beaches are the ideal spot for a sunrise surf, refreshing swim or spot of fishing. Try snorkelling in the aquatic wonderland of the Julian Rocks Marine Reserve. More than 400 unique marine species inhabit the waters where the warm tropical waters and cooler southern currents meet.

Adventurous travellers can try bushwalking, hang gliding, scuba diving, tandem skydiving, gliding, kayaking, surfing, horse riding, deep sea fishing and a myriad of other activities.
