One night of planned camping spontaneously turned into two nights because we were too spontaneous and didn’t look up availability for the whale watching we wanted to do. All good though, we got a really good weekend out of it down in Byron Bay. It can be divided into four parts and there will be an equal amount of posts because one will be way too long:

1. BRUNSWICK HEADS MARKET
2. Killen Falls
3. Byron Community Market
4. Whale Watching

Our first stop for this tiny road trip was the Brunswick Heads Market in Brunswick. We were lucky to find a parking spot reasonably close. People were crazy and even if they nicely waited in line for a spot, there were not as nice people rushing in to take their spot before them. It was crazy!

At the market, they had live music, lots of food stalls and anything you can imagine would be at a monthly farmer’s market in Brunswick which is very similar to Byron Bay vibe-wise. People were walking barefoot, dogs everywhere and it was just a cosy feeling. For lunch, Mikael had a German bratwurst and I had a falafel pocket. Very yummy!

After the market, we went to Torakina Beach, which was where we parked and out on the pier by the Brunswick River inlet. The waves there were insane and there were several signs saying how dangerous the water was there. Still, people were surfing there.

After the market, I got a magpie friend. It was looking at me from ALL angles and finally got himself a little treat from my banana lotti desert from the middle eastern food stall. Torakina Beach to the left and the inlet to the right. Two stone laid piers were on each side. The beach to the south and Byron Bay. The lighthouse is way back there.
