Point Lookout & Surfers’ Paradise

Point Lookout is a half hour far from Byron bay by walk

Once you reach Byron bay lighthouse,don’t turn back,go straight on following the little path that comes down towards the ocean,and in 15 minutes you’ll reach Point Lookout,

the eastern point of Australia!

From point lookout we saw two whales that day,mother and his puppy,jumping  out from water,unluckly I didn’t have the right lens…

 

The ocean was calm enough but the cliff was hit by very high waves,get to close would have been really dangerous

 

Here’s the eastern rock of Australia!

It was too high to be climbed,and already busy

 

That is the path that leads to Byron bay lighthouse and Point Lookout,NE corner of the map!

 


The Surfers’ Paradise is quite close to Byron,a flat or a house behind that beach costs a fortune,given that here you could go to that wonderful beach all the year,winter is not cold at all here!

 

 

The water was a bit cold,but surfers don’t mind things like that,there were a lot of people with their board that was going to the car to sleep there and wake up early in the morning only to get good waves!

This place deserve his name,if you come here be prepared,it costs a lot,but it worths absolutely every dollar you’ll spend


Byron Bay Lighthouse

Last weekend we decided to do a promenade

to the byron lighthouse!

The path went through the bush,it was really narrow and the vegetation was so thick that was hard to see all the moving things

The path starts from here,30 minutes by walk to reach the lighthouse,it has been really scary,a freaky australian animal could suddently come out in every moment!

 

To reach this point we took something like 10 minutes,going quite fast,so it was in the deep bush!

Who one would like to take a seat overthere,where spiders or snakes could bite you in every moment?

 

There were steps,climbs and descents everywere,we sweated one half hour to get to the lighthouse,but after all the landscape was amazing!

 

Sometimes we were able to see the ocean,in the middle of the deep forest there were some holes in which it appeared


 

that seems to be the entrance to dante’s hell

in fact after some minutes we entered in,a girl crossing our street said us that se had just seen 2 brown snakes not so far from there

(if one bites you,you die in 40 minutes)

lucky us,after some hundred metres we heard some creepy noises from left and right,two unknown animals were running away from us,luckly,but we died inside anyway

 

At last we started seeing the lighthouse,step by step bigger and bigger,and there was no more bush or creepy sounds!

After the lighthouse we went on walking,till the Point Lookout,near the seaside,the eastern point of australia

All in the next post,stay tuned!
