Gap Experience programmes in Australia, Byron Bay

The “peace and love” spirit of the late sixties lives on in this beautiful corner of New South Wales, Australia’s most easterly point. Whether it’s the clear, blue skies, the clear blue water or just the way that strangers greet each other on the street here, there’s definitely something about Byron Bay that makes you want more. Take an English course in Byron Bay with our partner language school and you’ll fall in love with this sublime little town!
Looking out over the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by blissful nature reserves, Byron Bay is a combination of laid back surf town and vibrant cultural hub: a number of events and festivals are on offer throughout the year, including music festivals, cinema festivals and various one-off gigs by internationally renowned performers. The annual Bangalow show in November is a particular treat, where the local farmers show off their animals and award prizes like the Camel Cup and Bangelow Idol.

Small businesses thrive and bikes are the preferred method of transport, perhaps as a result of the way that nature is so entwined with the town itself. You can expect a warm welcome from the friendly locals, who include many artists and musicians drawn to the positive atmosphere and beautiful views. Learn English in Byron Bay and you will get to explore the fantastic local beaches, wild rainforests and excellent waves that the area is known for. A real slice of Aussie paradise.
