Description
We are a retired couple living in our private home close to Tallow beach in the beautiful town of Byron Bay.
Byron Bay is so well known it needs no introduction.. We live in a quiet part of the town. There is a national park at the end of our street, and a 200 meter walk across this long and narrow park leads to our quiet beach. The park is alive with birds and birdsong, and wallabies are commonly seen in the early morning and at dusk. Close by is Tallow Creek, which opens and closes sporadically to the ocean, with an sizeable sea bird population which often nests there. The water of Tallow Creek is coloured by taking from the tea tree . The area around the creek opening is idyllic for picnicking, sunbathing, and the waters of the creek for paddling, soaking and swimming.
Our house has a wild tropical garden featuring numerous palms and other natives, which attract lots of bird life.
