Byron Bay and Tropical Fruit World
Standing on a bald rocky headland with a precipitous cliff on the east side, and a sheer drop of approximately 100 metres, Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most easterly light in Australia, and one of the most powerful. Byron Bay is famous not for only for its position as Australia's most easterly mainland point but also as the ""alternate lifestyle"" capital of Australia. Meet the locals, soak up the atmosphere.
If some retail therapy is necessary, there is a great range of original crafts, clothing and gift ideas. Have lunch (own expense) in one of the local cafes, the beachfront pub or have take away by the beach.
In the afternoon time is spent at Tropical Fruit World. This fifth generation family farm is home to some of Australia's and the world's most exotic fruit. It also boasts the best Fruit parfaits around; after all Tropical Fruit is what they do!
