Byron Bay Ballooning
Dawn flights over the Tweed Valley hinterland, with the Byron lighthouse visible on a clear morning and macadamia farms rolling out below. A champagne breakfast follows landing. The 5am pickup is non-negotiable, but the light at that hour is the whole point.

Knockrow
Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
A café inside a wildlife sanctuary in the Knockrow hinterland, where the koalas are the main event and the menu plays a supporting role. Best approached as part of a full day out, particularly if you're travelling with kids who need feeding between animal encounters.

Byron Bay
Cape Byron Lighthouse
Australia's most easterly point, reached via a 3.6-kilometre coastal walk past whale-watching lookouts and heathland. The 1901 lighthouse is still operational. Arrive early morning or late afternoon for the best of it.

Coorabell
St Helena lookout
A ridge-top pull-off on Coolamon Scenic Drive where the Byron hinterland spreads out across macadamia farms and rainforest canopy. No facilities, no crowds. Just the view and the winding road that brought you here. Dusk is the right time to arrive.
