Cape Byron State Conservation Area VKFF-1295

After activation Broken Head Nature Reserve headed for my next park, Cape Byron State Conservation Area VKFF-1295. This park is around the Cape Byron lighthouse at Cape Byron, the most Easterly point on mainland Australia. The easiest access point was Tallow Beach Rd out to the Tallow Beach car park. Sign for the park


When I got to the park found you need to pay for parking... Most of Byron Bay has pay parking as it gets swamped by tourists and would be nowhere to park if not controlled. I had enough coins for 1 hour, $4 parking so my activation time was limited.

Headed up an access trail to the North of the car park, found a Telstra post for squid pole support. Looking South


Looking North. Just near here a hang gliding launch site, had hang gliders flying over me here.


Shack on the tarp.
