Coffs Harbour, Maclean & Byron Bay

Heading back towards the coast, we reached Coffs Harbour and walked out to the viewpoint for great views around the bay.



Driving north from there we took a major ferry crossing (all of about 60m) to take us into the great town of Maclean (Scottish town of Australia).


Actually, it was pretty interesting. All the pukamani poles (usually designed with aboriginal symbols to portray cultural values) were painted with different tartans and names of Scottish clans. I took a few pictures (obviously) and even managed to find our own family tartan (Lamont) just as we were leaving...it was quite exciting really :)




On to Cape Byron (the most Easterly point in Australia), where the lighthouse viewpoint gives an impressive overlook of the surrounding bays. A bit touristy in the town, but the weather was fantastic and the views really were spectacular.
