On the last leg of our Melbourne - Brisbane drive, We stopped over at Byron Bay, a small seaside town located about 150 kilometres south of Brisbane. 
Byron Bay was once a whaling station and it is now a popular spot to go whale watching, surfing and experience some of the world's best eco tourism. 
We drove all the way up to the rocky headland of Cape Byron. Up there, the views were fantastic! We could see the beautiful beaches and the breathtaking panoramic view of the sea.

Pictures taken from the top of the cliff
The main attraction in Byron bay is this Cape Byron Lighthouse which was in use since 1901. It is standing on top a 94 metre high cliff at the most easterly point of the Australian mainland.
The well-maintained Cape Byron Lighthouse. 
The information and resting area on top of the cliff - Parking fee up here is AUD7 per hour.
According to the Travel information, Cape Byron is a good place to spot dolphins and whales.
We were lucky! We saw a small school of dolphins in the distance.
Walking along the trail to the eastern end, we found a cute wallaby. 
Posed for this picture before leaving Cape Byron. It was a good spot to take a break, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 
2 hours later, we had the Brisbane city's skyline in sight. We made it in 4 days! It was a memorable experience.
Back to the highway, we headed for Brisbane.
