Byron Bay

Postby globesurfer » Sat Apr 09, 2005 2:05 am

I went to Byron Bay for two weeks last summer, with my mum, my dad, my 2 sisters, my aunty, my uncle, and my seven year old cousin.

I lvoe the place, not just 4 the surf but the place. Its all good vibes, and because I was with my fave rellys thaty i hadnt seen in years, I just loved the place.

It rules, beautiful surf, beautiful ice cream, beautiful people... cant beat it.

whos been there, wats ur opinion?

I really liked Byron. Good vibe, good surf. I'd recommend it to anyone on the east coast of Oz.
Man oh man can the pass get busy though.

Yeeh...Byron's definitely got a good vibe.....Hippie lifestyle....very intersting place....
Lots of drugs involved though no?
Anyhow, liked it a lot, if only there weren't that many english backpackers.....
but I guess I count as a BP too....
