Day trips
the German grandfather clock shop in the main street before you leave.
Byron Bay Just over an hour away, Byron Bay is the perfect day trip. Hang out on the beach, stroll the main street or walk out to Australia’s most easterly point near the lighthouse. If money ‘ain’t no thang’ there are lots of adventure tours from Byron including hang gliding and kayaking adventures. Mt Tamborine This is a great destination for the cooler months. With lots of short hikes around the area, you can work up an appetite before hitting the main street to stock up on fudge or, if you want something more substantial ,you can grab a pizza and do some cheese tasting at the Witches Chase Cheese and Fortitude Brewing Company visitors centre. Don’t forget to visit 57
Brisbane With so much to do here on the Coast, it is very easy to get comfortable and never leave but don’t forget that Brisbane is just an hour away by train. Spend a day exploring the art gallery, Southbank and the mall or head up in the evening for the legendary Eat Street Markets or night out in the Valley. Cabarita A bit quieter than Byron, escape just over the border to Cabarita. The beach offers a gorgeous little bay with fantastic surf and a lookout walk that is perfect for whale watching. The bakery comes highly recommended too.
