Byron Bay Australia

Being the most easterly point in Australia gives Byron Bay the advantage of seeing the sun come up first.

A bucketlist event in itself, travellers gather at the famous Byron Bay lighthouse and watch the sun seemingly rise right out of the ocean.

Alternatively head a few miles up the road to Casuarina Beach, where the Cape Hillsborough National Park meets the shore, and there’s an extra special treat.

An hour before daybreak, dozens of wallabies congregate down by the water’s edge for a breakfast of mangrove seed pods, which are revealed after high tide. byron-bay.com, queensland.
