We left Dalby very early on the Monday morning so we could make the most of the day there. It was a 4 hour drive to Byron Bay. It’s funny how normal it is to drive long distances here. A 4 hour drive is considered pretty close! I don’t think I realised how big this country was until I got here! I had heard a lot about Byron Bay before I got here. Everyone had described it as hippie-town so I had my expectations but it was actually quite different to what I expected. It was very trendy with lots of cool shops, cafés and restaurants and very pretty. We headed up to the lighthouse which is one of the big attractions here and it was really cool. The views from up there were amazing! Here are a few pictures.

We then checked into the hostel where we were spending the night and then headed out. We wandered around some of the shops here and then headed to the beach where we spent the afternoon. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot. Later that evening, we went to a pub for dinner and they had a musical bingo competition so we joined in for a few rounds and I ended up winning one round! So I got a voucher for a free lunch at one of the places here. It was a really fun day.
