Byron Bay is a community of about 5000 inhabitants, on the east coast of Australia. In a ultra-touristy region, Byron Bay is still a haven of coolness, where the keyword is surfing.
Adopt the local lifestyle: bare feet, beach and surfing, and take a course while you are in this legendary town.

My suggestion
Rent a surfboard and try out the waves on the beaches of Cape Byron. In the evening, party at the Cheeky Monkey.
This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
