An eclectic mix of people and experiences, Byron Bay and the surrounding area never fails to please. With some of the countrys best beaches and the lure of lush tropical rainforests in the surrounding hills, the label Gods Country sits comfortably with those who visit. Byron Bay itself is alive with people, restaurants, bars, beaches and activities. Hippies mingle with fine diners.

At under an hour from both Ballina and Gold Coast airports, its an easy place to visit but very hard to leave.
