The Hidden Gem of Australia's Coasts — Byron Bay, NSW, Australia | The Travel Intern
Australia is famous for its breathtaking coasts, and we all know the country is littered with beautiful beaches.
So this time, we got the chance to visit (we believe) one of Australia's greatest hidden coastal gems — Byron Bay! It also helps that our ultimate bae, Chris Hemsworth, stays here too. ;-)
If you're not convinced, check our 13 reasons why Byron Bay should be on EVERY New South Wales' itinerary:
00:31 - Brunswick River
STAND UP PADDLING! Unlike the open oceans, paddling along Brunswick River was calm, peaceful and it felt like we had the whole area to ourselves~
00:39 - Cook Island
Cook Island is FAMOUS for its snorkelling tours, and we hopped on one of 'em! We got to see not only turtles in their natural habitat, but also a leopard shark and tonnnnnes of lil fishies in the water :-)
00:53 - Tropical Fruit World
Think of it as a fruit theme park — you get to go through tours around the large compound and you'll be blown away by the sheer amount of fruits they grow in there. ****Be sure to try the MIRACLE FRUIT, and the ice-cream they sell at the store :-)
01:11 - Mavis's Kitchen
Most of what they serve come from their garden just out the back from their restaurant. Super fresh, super yummy!
01:18 - Catch a Crab
Tweed Heads is not too far from the main city of Byron Bay, and their crabbing adventure tours are really famous too! We had such a good time learning how to catch crabs, yabbies and fishes~ THANK YOU CATCH A CRAB!!
01:37 - Cape Byron Lighthouse
YOU GET DIBS ON CATCHING THE SUNRISE FIRST IN AUSTRALIA!! Is that not a pull? Hahaha. Here at Australia's most easterly point, you get to catch the sunrise, and if you're feelin' a lil indulgent, treat yourself and a friend/partner to the Toast the Sun experience!
01:51 - Air T&G Helicopters
It was always a dream to get on a helicopter, even more so an OPEN-DOOR helicopter ride! There are a couple of different packages which include different routes and timings at Air T&G. One package even allows you to PILOT the helicopter — no kidding.
02:08 - Main Beach (GO SEA KAYAKS)
We've gone on and on about the beautiful beaches, so here we are, kayaking through the open ocean in search for sea turtles and dolphins! Hopefully the waters aren't too choppy when you're out there. Some of us had motion sickness while kayaking hahaha.
02:18 - The Farm
02:30 - Three Blue Ducks
One thing about Australia and Byron Bay, specifically, is the fact that it is so self-sustaining! Here at The Farm, we got to tour around and learnt more about the local produce sitch in Australia. Super inspiring.
Three Blue Ducks is within the compounds of The Farm, but they are always super crowded so do try to go during off-peak hours.
02:34 - Stone & Wood Brewery
If you observe, almost every bar or restaurant boasts the logo of Stone & Wood. They are also part of the local produce gang gang in Byron Bay, and they actually serve up some experimental beers that are limited edition on a rotational basis!
02:43 - Crystal Castle
Ultimate zen place. Learn about meditation, about crystals and everything about zen here~
02:55 - Main Beach (LET'S GO SURFING)
You'd better surf at one of Australia's surfing capitals! Try booking the sunrise surf with the beautiful warm orange glow embracing you as you make ~moves~ on the ~waves~.
03:09 - Byron Farmers Market
Only open on Thursdays from 8AM to 11AM.
We really recommend The Nomadic Kitchen!! They serve up some really interesting dishes, and they also move around the different farmers markets around the area.
03:17 - Husk Distillers
OOOOOOOO SIS YOU GOTS TO TRY THEIR INK GIN TONIC! 'Nuff said. Pretty purple colour, nice for your social media handles too. Hahaha.
03:27 - Zephyr Horses
The perfect way to end the day — Zephyr Horses' Forest to Beach Sunset Tour. We got to ride through a really mystical forest trail that led us out to the open beach with nobody around except us and the horsies~
03:38 - Harvest Newrybar
Just take a short drive out of Byron Bay and you'll reach Newrybar village. Harvest boasts a restaurant, bakery, deli and garden all in one compound.
03:48 - Zentveld's Coffee
The owner of this coffee plantation was self-taught — she learnt about brewing, harvesting and everything coffee-related by herself! We really enjoyed the experience of walking through the plantation, looking at how the brewing and harvesting process is like and getting to taste it. Yeet.
Have we convinced you guys to make a trip down yet??!?!?! We hope so! Because we'd surely visit again. :-)

4K Cape Byron Bay New South Wales AUSTRALIA Part 25 オーストラリア
Byron Bay is a beachside town located in the far-northeastern corner of the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 772 kilometres north of Sydney and 165 kilometres south of Brisbane.
The local Arakwal Aboriginal people's name for the area is Cavvanbah, meaning meeting place.[2] Lieutenant James Cook named Cape Byron after Royal Navy officer John Byron, circumnavigator of the world and grandfather of the poet Lord Byron.
The Cape Byron Lighthouse was built in 1901 at the most easterly point on the Australian mainland.
Cape Byron, a headland adjacent to the town, is the easternmost point of mainland Australia.
Longboard surfers arrived in the 1960s and used natural breaks at The Pass, Watego's, and Cosy Corner. This was the beginning of Byron Bay as a travellers' destination.
As at 2018, the town is cited as having around 5,000 permanent residents, while being visited by over 1.5 million tourists each year.Its reputation as a hippy, happy, alternative town was established.

World's First Solar Powered Train - Byron Bay Train
In December 2017, The Byron Bay Solar Train, made its first 6 km round trip, between the town of Byron Bay and North Beach, making it the world’s first solar powered train.
The Byron Bay Railroad Company, searched the country and found a dilapidated vintage train, called a ‘red rattler’, and spent $4 million dollars to restore it and get it up and running, including another $1.8 million dollars on restoring the 3km disused rail line, Plus a further $1 million dollars was spent on the train shed and two platforms at each end.
On its roof, the train boasts 6 kW of custom-made flexible solar panels, and are backed up by 77 kWh of battery storage, which has taken the place of one of the train’s two original diesel engines.
The train only uses about 4kwh for each one way trip, and has been able to make 16 trips, and only use 25% of its on board battery power, without any top up charging.
The train can also recharge while stopped at each station, which are also equipped with solar panels on the roofs.

Walk from Byron Bay to Lismore, NSW.
My friend Glen and I walked along the out of service Casino-Murwillumbah railway line back in February 2015, from Byron Bay to Lismore. We abandoned the walk on the final day due to Cyclone Marcia increasing to a Category 5 that eventually impacted on the Northern Rivers region, making it too unsafe to continue.
