Getting out and about

Visit the mini “Giants Causeway” of columnar formed from columnar basalt flow at Fingal Head. This is also a good whale-watching site. Other national parks include Mount Jerusalem National Park, Lamington National Park, and Springbook National Park with the inspiring waterfall cascading into the cave at the Nature bridge.

• One is spoilt for choice with our world class beaches with soft white sands, azure waters and the opportunity to swim for most of the year. Rainbow Bay, Kingscliff, Cabarita Beach (our favourite) and Byron Bay are some of the closest beaches to us. All those beaches are 1/2 hr to 45 minutes away.
• Visit the vibrant seaside town of Byron Bay with a plethora of restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and boutique clothing shops. Following that, a visit to the Lighthouse as the most easterly point of Australia is a must. This can be finished off with a hike down to the rocks and exquisite little coves below.
• Whale watching! This coastline bursts into life between April and November, as the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales migrate to the temperate tropical waters to calve. The lookout points at Rainbow bay, Cabarita Headland and Byron Bay afford great opportunities to spot these giants of the ocean.

• A half hour drive to the quaint Town of Tayalgum with its delightful coffee shops and scenic setting makes a delightful half day outing.
• Then there are the lovely restaurants on the narrow road to Mount Warning. Amongst these is the ever popular MAVIS’S KITCHEN, with a well established reputation for fabulous dining and an excellent menu with its own home grown herbs, vegetables and fruits.
