Arrival and information
|
|
|
If you come by
train
, you'll arrive right in the heart of town on
Jonson Street
, the main thoroughfare. Not all north coast
buses
stop at Byron Bay; however, those that do will also drop you here, or else a little way north near the junction of Jonson and Lawson streets. The closest
airports
are at Ballina, 39km south (from where you can get a bus connection with Kirklands), or Coolangatta, 109km north in Queensland; Byron Bay Connection buses link up with both airports (tel 02/6685 5980; Ballina from $22, Coolangatta from $55).
Check out the helpful
Byron Bay Tourist Information Centre
, staffed by volunteers at 80 Jonson St, next to the train station (daily 9am-5pm; tel 02/6685 8050). You'll be able to pick up an excellent range of printed information here about accommodation (free booking service), eating, national parks, scenic drives, sights, activities and tours. A
Disabled Access Guide
is also available. An alternative for information is the Byron Bus & Backpacker Centre, next to the information centre (daily 7am-8pm; tel 02/6685 5517), which books tours, activities, accommodation, bus tickets, car rental and arranges freight. Other useful information
