A long walk to the Byron lighthouse
December 15th, 2019 , 15:58
Plan was to get to the lighthouse, so cycling part way then walking up the steep bits (where we discovered bikes weren’t allowed anyway!). So we cycled into town getting used to the borrowed bikes. We reached the Byron Bay weekend market and pushed the bikes though the market looking at the stalls. Stopped to buy a new wallet as well! Then once we passed the marked we cycled to the bottom of the lighthouse walk and locked the bikes up at the bike rack. The walk up was quite tiring and steep with stairs, but we made it! (K: The path goes up making you believe you’re on your way to the lighthouse, then it goes down! To the next bay and beach and you just have to climb up again! And keep climbing. Mark kept saying ‘last bit up’ but he was lying. We got the most easterly point of Australia and stopped for photos, then pushed up – up- to the lighthouse). On the way down from the lighthouse, Mark spotted turtle in the sea, way below us as we were up on the cliffs. Then back to bikes via a bush walk where more birds were seen (K: We went up along the coast, then went back via the inland route. Saw birds, but not many. Very sandy walk but very few people. And still up and down! But also got to see the hang gliding launch pad). Then back to the house a serious pool floating and relaxing before going out to the Treehouse for pizza (though we ended up not really getting pizza – Joe had Nachos and I had curry).
