Byron Bay Maps and Orientation
(Byron Bay, New South Wales - NSW, Australia)
Located within New South Wales (NSW), the coastal town of Byron Bay is to be found on the state's far North Coast, close to the border of Queensland and part-way between Grafton and the twin towns of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta.
Byron Bay may be situated in New South Wales, the same state as the popular tourist city of
Sydney, but if you are planning an excursion to see the famous
Sydney Opera House or
Harbour Bridge, then be prepared to travel some 800 km / 500 miles to the south. In fact,
Brisbane, in Queensland (QLD), is considerably closer and by car can easily be reached in well under three hours.
