Luckily for us the Greyhound stops at the Zoo, so we left around 4:30pm and got into Byron at around midnight. Along our travels we had met quite a few people raving about a hostel called 'The Arts Factory', I can honestly say I have no idea why, because it's utter crap. It's quite run down, and in desperate need of renovation. I can see the hippy look they were going for, but they charge an obscene amount of money (even more then the newer, cleaner hostels in the centre of town and near to the beach). The staff were particularly rude and we've been quite unlucky with the people in our room. Last night at about 4am, two of them fell out and had a fist fight, and the night before they spilt wine all over another girl's bag.
The town itself is awesome, similar to Noosa in its chilled out atmosphere but with a bit more happening. The beach is perfect too, the water is crystal clear, but because there is no Great Barrier Reef in the way, it gets huge waves. We've been hanging out with James, Luke and Nicola (some people we met on our Fraser Island trip) on the beach for the last couple of days because we've been lucky enough to have clear blue skies.
loving the light here, and the colours of the bench shots! good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate! I bought a cir-polarizer for my lens the other day, check out the sky on my first great ocean road post... no editing at all!
