the hinterland trailD

iscover what the locals have know

n for a long time...

that the best part of the Byron Shire is found in ‘the hill’s’.

The lush and rolling green hills are reminiscent of the English

- or perhaps Tuscan – countryside and are punctuated with

rainforests, waterfalls, farm

s, historic villages, comm

unity halls, cafés, artist’s studios, B&

Bs and roadside stalls.

Along the w

inding country roads, scenic lookouts o�er spectacular view

s over the coast and hinterland. Catch a great dance or ‘travelling �ick’ in one of the com

munity halls (arm

ed with a cushion to sit on).

Drop into Crystal Castle and Sham

bhala Gardens to see the

WorldPeaceStupa,uniqueintheSouthernH

emisphereand

only the seventh in the world.

Have a purse-load of gold coins handy for the roadside stalls

with fresh farm

produce available. Please be respectful and use the honesty system

.There are hinterland tours that o�er m

ountain bike riding, w

alking, horse-riding and kayaking... or just set o� on your ow

n for an exhilarating day of exploration and discovery.
