Did you know: The name Coober Pedy (Australia) comes from the Aboriginal term Kupa piti, possibly meaning ‘white man in a hole.’ Some say it’s a reference to opal mines; others to the early miners’ choice to live underground.
Byron Bay is a beachside town located in the far north-eastern corner of the state of New South Wales, Australia. It’s an easy drive from Brisbane, 165km south. Cape Byron, a headland adjacent to the town is the easternmost point of mainland Australia. You can easily view humpback whales from this vantage point as they migrate to Hawaii starting in September.
