What is the best way to get to Lismore? If the weather is gorgeous and time is not pressing then via Byron Bay is the best way to get there (possibly it is the best way to get anywhere …).

Life gets in the way sometimes and somehow it has been years since I have been to Byron Bay. The boys had never been there, which is a shame because it is a beautiful place. Hippy meets hipster.

Parking is a premium but we managed to find a car park and found a place to have fish and chips for lunch. Delicious. Lunch was followed by a wander down to the waterfront to breathe in the sea air, slow down to the pace of a beachside town and just watch the mix of people go by. I could have happily pulled up a seat at the beach front bar and enjoyed a long afternoon at the beach but alas we needed to push on … Lismore here we come.
