Byron Bay has the most easterly point in Australia - next stop is Norfolk Island where the crew of the Mutiny on the Bounty decided to take root and make a life miles from anywhere. Then there is nothing but sea until South America.Byron Bay is renowned for great beaches and cliff views, surfing, alternative therapies and organic food. It has some excellent restaurants and cafe bars and a reputation for good and expensive coffee. It rained like hell while we were here - freaky weather as it's supposed to be the dry season! As an aside, the road signs around here are hilarious:' Horse Poo for Sale' rather than manure and 'Koala Monitoring Area' being just two.
This is where I also learnt another meaning for the word 'root' rather than a base of a tree or settling down - it seems that Aussie men are somewhat direct with their chat up lines. It was apparently a proposal although it was presented as a statement and he wasn't put off when I asked if I could think about it for a few days!
