Workation in Byron Bay: the essentials
Cape Byron, with its lighthouse and winter whale watching, is the easternmost point of mainland Australia, and the town below it has only about 6,300 permanent residents. Byron Bay lies in Bundjalung Country in the far northeast of New South Wales, 165 km south of Brisbane. The old hippie reputation lives on in the markets and yoga studios, but money arrived long ago and holiday lets dominate housing, so monthly rentals are hard to find. The Pass and Wategos draw longboarders, Tallows has room to spread out, and there are a few coworking spaces. Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is about 20 km away.
