Byron Bay to Coff's Harbour

In the morning the rains had stopped and I left the site around 10am and went back into the Town Byron Bay is a mall town of little shops and fairly eclectic in that it has a hippy feel to it. The council here have strived to keep it this way and kept out most of the big stores and concerns. I drove through the town and parked up at the base of the Headland walking round to the most Easterly point of Australia then up to the Lighthouse, A short rain squall came in again but it was still hot and humid and I was dripping more with sweat than rain when I got to the top. I walked back down to car and went back to the car and called back in the town for an iced coffee before setting off back on the Highway. After a couple of hours I got to Coff's Harbour which was not at all what I had expected. This is a large sprawling town which sits back from the sea. The is a large harbour down at the coast but I was fairly tired by now and just wanted to chill so I checked into a campsite and called at a local shopping mall for some extra food and beers and relaxed back at the camp site making use of the free internet in the camp kitchen before turning in.
