At Fisherman's Lookout near Byron Bay, a scene unfolds at sunset that will remain etched in your memory. Huge waves rush in front of you, carrying the power of the open Pacific and breaking with a thunderous roar against the dark, jagged rocks in the foreground. The spray sprays upwards in sparkling arcs and mixes with the warm wind, which smells of salt and unspoilt expanses.
Above this powerful interplay of the elements stretches a sky that burns in intense red tones. The clouds stretch across the coastline like glowing layers of colour, bathing the sea in a light that shimmers between fire, copper and deep purple. Every wave is caught for a moment by this warm glow and lights up before fading into the twilight.
If you turn your gaze inland, a gentle, sweeping landscape opens up. The striking silhouette of Mt Warning rises calmly and majestically above the hinterland, surrounded by soft ridges that shimmer almost golden in the evening light.
Fisherman's Lookout is a place where the wild and the still merge - a stage on which sea, light and land create a timeless, powerful natural spectacle.
