Drive the scenic backroads through the Byron Bay hinterland to Bangalow and browse the shops along the main street or visit. the markets if you're lucky enough to be there on the 4th Sunday of the month. Farm fresh produce and good vintage finds, like good Levis denim.

Locals will tell you about Butcher Baker, a winning café located in a beautiful heritage building on the main street, with an in-house bakery and craft beer on tap. Pop in for one of their famous sausage rolls or doughnuts, the earlier the better.
