Today we only needed to go a little piece to get to our goal: Byron Bay, the most eastern part of mainland Australia. I had put the GPS to a parking place near the beach, but found a sign to get to the light house just before that, so we followed that. The first parking lot was full, the parking lot at the light house was full as well, but at the third parking lot we got lucky, there even was a spot in the shadow.
From there it was a small hike up the cliff again. The lighthouse looked amazing against the blue sky and the surroundings. After enjoying the view we followed a trail to the view point and after that we went down a path to a small beach.
On the path we saw a big lizard, i guess around 40 cm long, then the was a Walibi next to the road and later we saw some sort of turkey.
At the beach we took a quick swim at the most eastern beach and then we headed back to the car as the parking time was almost over. We headed to another beach I had read about.
On the way there, there where big signs about a koala and when we saw a lot of people standing around a tree pointing their phones up, we also parked the car and saw our first koala.
The trail to the beach went through a small piece of rain forest. Here we say more turkeys. The beach was nice a quiet, also because it was already after 17:30, but still nice and warm.
After another swim we went to a rugby club who opens one of their fields as a camping place. A nice way to get some extra income for the club during the summer break, and because it is not widely advertised, there was plenty of space.
