Midgen Environment Park

Fast forward to Byron Bay as we have been to busy/lazy to update the inbetween towns and did not stay long...

The morning before arriving to Byron, we went 4×4 on ballina seven miles beach and Lara caught a MASSIVE australian salmon, she fought with it for 10 minutes. She had a fan club, as two other cars had stopped to take pictures.

We met Emma and Jake (Lara's sister and her husband) in the afternoon for a fish and chips on the main beach. Ambre (Robin's cousin) was working that night so we went to see her after her work and slept in the van in front of her place.

The next morning Ambre took Robin on a 1h30 jogging for sunrise at the lighthouse (tiring and steep but so beautiful). Adrien (Ambre's 'friend') came as well. Robin realized he needs to work on his fitness a bit more as Ambre usually does it in 45min.

Around midday we went to Stone & Wood brewery with Emma, Jake and Ambre to taste the famous local beers. In the afternoon we went to the beach with Emma and Jake to take pictures of the sunset, and ended at the local pub to watch the rugby game.

Emma and Jake left on the Sunday. We went with Ambre and her friend CJ to Harvest, which is a bakery located in a lovely little town of Newrybar: their gardens and food is amazing, highly recommend.

In the afternoon, we borrowed Ambre's longboard and went to 'The Pass', which is the famous surf spot along the light house. Nice little waves and great sunset.Read more
