New South Wales: Byron Bay, the most eastern point on Australia's mainland

Byron Bay, about 4 hours south of Brisbane, is Australia's most easterly point. A lighthouse guards the entrance to the bay. The actual most eastern point is the tiny strip of land which darts out from the bay (photo - bottom left) and marked at the end of the path (photo - bottom right). During the month of October people from all over gather to watch whales. Dolphins can be seen swimming among the waves just about all year long.
