Welcome to the Far North Coast...

The most northerly stretch of coastal New South Wales is as diverse as it is interesting, catering equally to leisurely backpackers, hard-core surfers, and holidaying families.

On the coast there's an array places to stay from quiet fishing villages to trendy resort towns like the ever popular Byron Bay. These are scattered in between national parks, rainforests, picturesque fields, and deserted golden beaches, just waiting to be explored.

Sixty kilometres inland or so, the spectacular mountainous hinterland lurches out of the coastal plain. Dense forests surround the ex-volcanic peaks, ridges, and valleys which since the Aquarius Festival in the seventies, have become home to a large population of alternative lifestylers. Festivals, dances, and markets are commonplace throughout the various communities whose alternate styles have become a colourful and prominent part of life.
