From Far North Queensland covered in recent posts, here, here and here, the journey now shifts back to an evolving scientist’s home state, New South Wales. Approximately 1,850 kilometres south of Cairns, and just 770 kilometres north of Sydney is the town of Byron Bay. Byron Bay is a beachside town with a permanent population of around 5,000 and a tourist magnet. Some of the rich and famous have found the climate so attractive as to retire to both the town and the hinterland.
Nearby is Cape Byron, the most easterly point of the Australian coast. The buildings associated with the lighthouse now house excellent descriptive materials.
