Feeling all revved up by my Lamington National Park stay, I hopped in my car and pursued what was supposed to be a two hour drive down to Byron Bay for a night there. Byron Bay is a funky little alternative town everyone raves about, but when I finally got there I could only find an eternally long traffic jam to get in, no accommodation available at any campsites for miles around, and a cop waiting to breathalyze me on the way back out. Not such a good experience. I did manage to find a caravan park several towns down the cost which was wildly expensive, but only at the last minute.
Earlier in the day, on the way to Byron Bay, I did enjoy driving through some very spectacular mountain passes and a visit to a national park with a waterfall flowing over and under a natural bridge.
