Crystal Castle

 On Wednesday the Hubby and I hopped in the car and took a beautiful scenic drive to Crystal Castle. We stopped off on the way at the lookout overlooking Byron Bay and the sea.

After admiring the view (and taking some snaps) we hopped back in the car and drove to Crystal Castle.

Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens is one of Nature’s sacred places, another side to Byron you must see. 30 years ago this lush landscape was a bare paddock, overgrazed and treeless. The King family have created one of the most unique and enriching destinations in the southern hemisphere.
These private botanical gardens filled with extraordinary crystals, sub-tropical plant life and daily experiences for all ages will provide you with a uniquely fulfilling experience. 

Despite the fact that it is the school holidays the gardens were remarkably peaceful and tranquil. We spent a wonderful few hours wandering the garden and enjoying a spot of lunch whilst taking in the stunning views. Here are a few snaps from our day:
