The Country of the Arakwal of Byron Bay

betterthanhome (73)in #travelfeed • 5 years ago

Yesterday afternoon I showed my Mum a very special place here on the Eastcoast of Australia. We went to the Broken Head Beach south of Byron Bay to explore the Broken Head Nature Reserve. This stretch of land belongs to the Arakwal of Byron Bay who count themselves as one of the Bundjalung People who are the original custodians of the northern coast of New South Wales.

Gestern Nachmittag habe ich meiner Mutter hier an der Ostküste Australiens einen ganz besonderen Ort gezeigt. Wir gingen zum Broken Head Beach südlich von Byron Bay, um das Broken Head Nature Reserve zu erkunden. Dieses Stück Land gehört den Arakwal von Byron Bay, die sich selbst zu den Bundjalung-Leuten zählen, die die ursprünglichen Verwalter der Nordküste von New South Wales sind.

Broken Head Beach

The Broken Head Beach itself is actually worth a visit despite the 4 dollar per hour parking fee. But if you´re keen to walk a bit further you will get rewarded with spectacular views and one of the best beaches I´ve seen in a while.

The Three Sisters Track starts from a slightly overpriced parking lot, which leads past shady trees, steep cliffs and small rocky islands to the said beach.

Der Broken Head Beach selbst ist trotz der Parkgebühr von 4 Dollar pro Stunde schon einen Besuch wert. Wer allerdings bereit ist etwas weiter zu laufen, wird mit spektakulären Ausblicken und einem der besten Strände belohnt, die ich seit einiger Zeit gesehen habe.

Vom etwas überteuerten Parkplatz started der Three Sisiters Track, welcher vorbei an schattigen Bäumen, steilen Klippen und kleinen Felsinslen zu dem besagten Strand führt.

The walking track isn´t that hard and with only 1.6km return easily done in less than an hour.

Most of them time you will walk in the shade of trees and big bushes, until you reach the top of that small headland. Looking back you will always see the beautiful Broken Head Beach and the Byron Bay Lighthouse in the distance.

Die Wanderroute ist nicht so schwer und mit nur 1,6 km Rückweg in weniger als einer Stunde zu bewältigen.

Die meiste Zeit läuft man im Schatten von Bäumen und großen Büschen, bis man die Spitze dieser kleinen Landzunge erreicht. Beim Zurückblicken, sieht man in der Ferne immer den schönen Broken Head Beach und das Byron Bay Lighthouse.

From here on the track gets a bit more narrow and there are no handrails or bushes anymore to protect you from falling from the the cliffs. My Mum is scared of heights so I always had to walk on the outside of the path. 😁

Finally we reached a big lawn from where we had the perfect view on the Three Sisters Rock. There is a story about the rocks which you can read on the sign.

Ab hier wird die Strecke etwas enger und es gibt keine Handläufe oder Büsche mehr, die Sie davor schützen, von den Klippen zu fallen. Meine Mutter hat Höhenangst, deshalb musste ich immer auf der Außenseite des Pfades gehen. 😁

Schließlich erreichten wir eine große Wiese, von der aus wir den perfekten Blick auf den Three Sisters Rock hatten. Es gibt eine Geschichte über die Felsen, die du auf dem Schild lesen kannst.

And just a few steps further there it is...the absolut most picturesque Beach I´ve seen in quite a while. From the viewing platform we had an incredible view over the actual Broken Head and the Kings Beach.

This is not only a beautiful secluded beach and awesome surfspot, it is also the "privat" Beach of Thor actor Chris Hemsworth who only lives a stone throw away from here.

Unfortunately we could not walk down the very steep steps to the beach since my Mum was too scared she would not get up again.

Und nur ein paar Schritte weiter war er da ... der absolut malerischste Strand, den ich seit einiger Zeit gesehen habe. Von der Aussichtsplattform hatten wir einen unglaublichen Blick über den tatsächlichen Broken Head und den Kings Beach.

Dies ist nicht nur ein wunderschöner abgelegener Strand und ein großartiger Surfspot, sondern auch der "private" Strand des Thor -Schauspielers Chris Hemsworth, der nur einen Steinwurf von hier entfernt wohnt.

Leider konnten wir nicht die sehr steilen Stufen zum Strand hinuntergehen, da meine Mutter zu ängstlich war, dass sie nicht wieder aufstehen würde.

We will definitely come back on a nice sunny day and walk down the steps to the beach. But next time I bring my surfboard as the waves actually looked pretty good.

Wir werden auf jeden Fall an einem schönen sonnigen Tag wiederkommen und die Stufen zum Strand hinuntergehen. Aber das nächste Mal bringe ich mein Surfbrett mit, da die Wellen eigentlich ziemlich gut aussahen.
