Byron Bay

A pleasant round trip from the Gold Coast is to Byron Bay via the scenic coastal road taking in towns such as Kingscliffe and Pottsville and returning via Mulumbimby and Murwillumbah (love those place names). The drive through the Tweed Valley is breathtaking travelling around the steep roads of the Mt Warning Shield Volcano. It's no wonder the valley is so fertile, lots of fruit and vegetable stalls along the way.
Our trip was to check out possible places to settle for a while as well as sightsee. So far, Coombabah, a few kms north of the Gold Coast, seems to be the spot but we will continue to "suss" out the area. The weather is as good as it gets now, sunny days and cool evenings.
