Byron Bay

Once I got to Byron Bay I had a wonderful time relaxing there. It is filled with tourists but the beach is peaceful and the beach break is great for beginners when their is swell. It is such a relaxing place and has several natural food stores where and one local produce stand where I got several delicious pineapples and some garlic which had wonderful flavor. I also did two dives off the coast at Julian Rocks Aquatic Reserve. There was a underwater photography festival going on at the time and so I got a CD of pictures that were taken but they are in the mail back home and I don't have them to put up. I did have my fingers about 3 inches from the tail of a leopard shark which was exciting and got to see several rays as well. Two days before I left I ended up getting slightly sick so spent several days taking it easy (even easier) before I headed up to Brisbane.
