Description
Cape Byron, easternmost point of the Australian mainland.
Cape Byron is the easternmost point of the mainland of Australia. It is about 3 km (1.9 mi) east of the town of Byron Bay and projects into the Pacific Ocean. The cape was named by British explorer Captain James Cook, when he passed the area on 15 May 1770, to honour British explorer John Byron who circumnavigated the globe in HMS Dolphin from 1764 to 1766.[2] The Cape is part of the Cape Byron State Conservation Area.
