Cape Byron
James Cook accidentally came across this cape while wandering around the Pacific Ocean in 1770 during his trip around the world. A great admirer of Admiral Byron's talents, Cook decided to memorialize the cape in his honor. In the recent past, Cape Byron had a sinister reputation as a whaling base. In the 20th century, this place became a haven for hippies and various activists with free views on life. In memory of these "free" times, the melodies of didgiridu and bongo-bongo are still playing on Cape Byron, as well as vegetarian cafes everywhere.
The whole point of travel is hiking. So get out of the car and go ahead. In the easternmost point of Australia, Cape Byron, whales are not uncommon, especially from June to October. While swimming in the waters of the Pacific Ocean and local waters, you can easily see: nurse sharks, sea turtles, stingrays and bottlenose dolphins. Whales willingly pose for tourists, but often only in the distance. In Australia, as you know, there's a sneaky kangaroo everywhere. He has entire pastures here. It is convenient to stare at them from the observation deck. Moreover, the Byron beaches are also visible from here. One of the most extravagant things is QR codes, designed to serve the national park to help tourists with a walking route.
It's hot on a hike. A sure remedy for thirst is a flask of water. If the flask runs out, then you can replenish your reserves with life-saving moisture in the national park. To do this, we are looking for cranes. Cape Byron is treacherous and expects an increased concentration of attention from tourists: remember, even on the most stormy day it is easy to brown and even roast here. To do this, apply sunscreens. Moreover, as the experienced insist, it is better not to let the cream out of overworked, callused hands at all. The image of a tourist will be complemented by a hat, sunglasses, and, of course, comfortable shoes. All taken together, these are the components of a tourist's success in my Byron. There are paths and stairs all along the route. And we were really pleased with the informative signs. It's a little hot here in summer, spring and autumn are the best, and in winter we stock up on a set of warm socks.
A lighthouse was built at Cape Byron in 1901. It is claimed that this particular lighthouse is the last echo of Victorian architecture that has survived intact on the continent. The lenses weigh 8 tons and were delivered from France. For daredevils, there is a hang glider and balloon tour.
