The Travelling Fairy DancerIt's Always Byron Bay
April 13th 2010 08:35
How many of you out there are in love with Byron Bay? I know, I know – the town of fire-twirling hippies and laid-back afternoon drinks at the Beach Hotel has slowly suffocated under the extreme weight of mass tourism – but it still retains its blissful vibe.
Backpackers from all over the world contribute greatly to its appeal – in my opinion – with different accents, happy-go-lucky attitudes and head-scarfs exploding all over town in a multitude of colours. Writers sit cradling coffees and scratching their heads over the tops of their mini-computers and, without fail, interesting buskers entertain the masses from the street corners.
The food options are exquisite, with tiny hidey-holes springing up in every backstreet and firm favourites, like The Balcony, still serving delicious, fresh produce to be enjoyed on comfy couches strewn with Moroccan inspired pillows.
The mountain climbing goats at the lighthouse have disappeared – although I did spot one lonely soul on my last trip – but the views from Australia’s most easterly point, never disappoint.
Byron Bay has its own, unique essence that can’t quite be squashed by the inevitable onset of people – and I’ll always go back there.
