BYRON BAY<br />
Brendan Fitzsimons<br />
Delissimo Cookies and<br />
Byron Bay Bagels<br />
BEST BREAKFAST:<br />
OneOneOne opposite the<br />
cinemas. They have the best coffee<br />
in town and the menu is always<br />
surprising and inventive. Don’t miss<br />
their poached eggs with soft<br />
polenta and parmesan.<br />
GREAT PLACE FOR DINNER:<br />
St Elmo’s in Fletcher Street<br />
— a classic Melbourne-style bar/<br />
restaurant with a Byron twist. Their<br />
selection of wine by the glass is<br />
excellent, the staff professional and<br />
the shared plates are delicious.<br />
share their<br />
favourite domestic<br />
destinations<br />
BEST NIGHT OUT: Find a<br />
friend with a house and pool<br />
in the hills, take an esky full of mud<br />
crabs from the Bay Fish Market,<br />
some champagne, your iPod and a<br />
sleeping bag… and then wander<br />
back to Byron in the morning for a<br />
dawn swim at The Pass.<br />
MUST-BUY (MONEY NO<br />
OBJECT!): Anything from<br />
Island Luxe in Bangalow or their<br />
new store in Byron. Their clothes<br />
for both men and women are very<br />
funky and the homewares are<br />
stylish and unusual.<br />
INSIDER’S TIP: The<br />
Mullumbimby Farmers’<br />
Market, held every Friday morning<br />
at the showgrounds is a great place<br />
to hang out and try local coffee,<br />
AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURES<br />
Enjoy Byron Bay’s<br />
famed beaches<br />
food, vegetables and to<br />
people-watch. Byron Bay mightn’t<br />
have too many hippies these days,<br />
but you’ll fi nd the rainbow country<br />
alive and well in Mullumbimby.<br />
MUST-EAT: Byron Bay<br />
Bagels — traditional New<br />
York-style boiled bagels made right<br />
here in Byron Shire! We reckon<br />
they’re better than any bagel you’ll<br />
fi nd outside the East Village.<br />
BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT<br />
WITH THE LOCALS: The<br />
Railway Hotel and Friendly Bar on a<br />
Friday night. It was even more lively<br />
when trains pulled in literally<br />
behind the bar, but it’s still the<br />
place to gather for a beer and to<br />
listen to live music. Especially fun<br />
when the tin fi re drums are roaring.<br />
