We enjoyed a lovely meal at Che Bon (French Restaurant) Wednesday night, the food was lovely, the wine was delicious and the service was great. Hats off to this little piece of Lyon, France in the middle of Ballina.
Today was spent visiting the Northern Rivers towns now that we had some wheels. It was an early start, not because we had a car but we were up much earlier today. We took the coastal route up to our first stop, the Richmond River Light (Lighthouse). We then continued onto Lennox Head for a coffee stop and look around. Such a quaint little town (very busy).
Next stop was Byron Bay and the Cape Byron Lighthouse and a walk out to the "Most Easterly Point of the Australian Mainland", it was raining and so the walk was done with some haste. We then ventured into the town centre but it was crazy busy and the roads were like car parks. We headed south towards Ballina to continue the drive north to our next stop. It was very much the long way around but the traffic and town centre were way too busy. I am glad that we didn't end up staying in Byron.
We headed up the M1 towards the Queensland border, knowing that we wouldn't be allowed to cross over. We headed into Brunswick Heads and found a pub "Hotel Brunswick" overlooking the creek and we just managed to find a table when the rain became much heavier. We were very lucky. We enjoyed a typical pub lunch of fish and chips and a burger and it was perfect timing as the rain eased up and then stopped. After lunch, a quick look around before heading south to Ballina.
