Australia by Car

The lush, green hills that surround Byron Bay are home to the quaint, rustic town of Bangalow. Positioned on the spectacular north coast of New South Wales, this hideaway is the perfect place to stop for a while and even spend the night.

Having driven this route many times, I can honestly tell you that driving in this area will simply take your breath away. This section of the Pacific Highway is marked by windy, mountainous roads, densely, rich forest and spectacular views of the stunning coastline. The best way to take in the natural ambience here is in the comfort of your car, and hiring a car has never been so easy thanks to Car Hire.

Once you arrive in the actual township of Bangalow, you will find a relaxed, yet stylish village. The main street is lined with Federation-era facades, creating a quaint and historical charm to this humble abode. It is here that the Bangalow Music Festival comes to life, each year at the end of August. Experience some true Australian music and gain an appreciation of the local culture and traditions.

If you are lucky enough to be passing by on the fourth Sunday of the month, be sure to check out the Bangalow Markets, where you will find an abundance of local arts, crafts and food. Browse the interesting displays and who knows, you may even find your own little piece of Bangalow to keep.

Before you head into the seaside haven of Byron Bay, you simply must take some time to explore the charm of Bangalow. The country feel to this quaint township will welcome you with open arms and leave you feeling fresh and invigorated!
