Ocean Shores is a small town on the Pacific Coast at the very top of the state of New South Wales, which is just below the city of Brisbane, Queensland. The area is a hilly, lush, scenic, and sparsely populated. It is famous for the small tourist town of Byron Bay. If you look at a map of Australia, Byron Bay Point is the eastern most point of Australia. |
