HUB BYRON BAY HINTERLAND Another of the area’s most beautiful national parks, the Borders Rangers National Park, has also been shaped by the land’s ancient and volcanic past. At Bar Mountain, you can take a trip into prehistory, wandering through a rare forest fi lled with more than 2,000-year-old Antarctic beeches, or visit Charlie Ebell’s favourite spot — the 200m Pinnacle Walk that takes you right to the edge of an ancient caldera. “You can stand on the rim of this volcano and get extraordinary views across to Mount Warning, which is often wrapped in mist — it’s one of the most beautiful things,” Ebell says. “I’ll often take a picnic with me. Just remember to pack a jumper — the rainforest has its own ecology, and it can get very chilly when you’re up that high.” At the end of an energetic day, the best place to unwind is Ecoasis, where just six luxurious chalets are nestled in a verdant setting, with Mount Warning watching over the horizon. The two-storey chalets offer everything from luxurious baths to fullyequipped kitchens, but the best way to end the day is to have a seafood platter delivered to your villa to enjoy out on the deck, watching the sun sink behind Mount Warning. Jetstar flies to Ballina Byron from Sydney; JetSaver Light fares from AU$79. Book online at Jetstar.com.
