    The Northern Rivers region in New South Wales captivates with its relaxed atmosphere, lush nature, and alternative culture. At its heart lies Byron Bay, with its iconic lighthouse and world-class surf beaches. The subtropical hinterland entices with rainforest, waterfalls, and charming towns like Mullumbimby, as well as alternative Nimbin. Its cultural diversity is deeply rooted in the history of the Arakwal-People; here you can surf, explore the rainforest, or visit local markets. For a quieter experience, a visit in spring or autumn is recommended, outside of the Australian school holidays. In the mornings, dolphins and whales are often sighted at the lighthouse.
