Weekend Continued - Byron Bay

What a busy weekend we had. Our friend bought a new car and wanted to go for a drive this sunday. It was a cold and rainy sunday morning, but we decided to go for a drive down across the Queensland/New South Whales border to Byron Bay. This was our first time out of state to New South Whales. It's actually really close to where we live, it only took about 2 hours to get to our destination. So far I think this was my favorite coastal beach town we have visited. It's very laid back and relaxed here and people's lives down there mostly revolve around surfing and yoga. Now that's my kind of place. I'm pretty sure I could get used to being out on the beach all day surfing with a nice golden tanned and fit body being out on the beach and surfing all day. The food here is great, lots of vegetarian options for me :) and delicious looking deserts. Apparently there are a lot of dirty hippies living down here, but we didn't see many out that particular day.

Here are a few pictures of the beaches here.

The pictures don't do the place any justice though,

so you'll have to come down here and see for yourself.

This lighthouse is the most easterly point of Australia.

Later that evening we went to Brunswick Heads to the Brunswick Hotel, apparently owned by Crocodile Dundee according to our crazy drunk friend. This friend of ours, Adam (in the picture below) also claimed that this pub was built into a mountain overlooking the ocean. Much to our surprise, there was no mountain or ocean anywhere near the pub. There was however, a small creek across the street, which I suppose could be mistaken as the ocean depending on how much alcohol you have consumed. Where the mountain part came from, we are still unsure.
