We went for a drive out to Byfield for a look it can be a long drive for the first time in many a year since I have been here, the road winds out thought the tall pine timber trees that have still not recovered from the last cyclone that roared it way into this area in fact there are a few houses that still look like they have just been thought a storm.
We drove the end of the little town if you call it that it's mostly one shop school and fire station.
We stopped at the shop and had a sausage roll home made it was filling and coffee the shop was busy with people and 4x4’s who had by all accounts been out on the forest dirt roads and local creeks camping as you see from photos they are very pretty places.
There are a number of places to camp or stay at out here but to go most places it's off road driving.
You can drive down the dirt forest roads out to the beach and onto it, for fishing etc. but most come here for the fresh water spots during the hot summers.
Overall it's a camping, four wheel drive heaven with some great water holes.
Hope you enjoy the photos of this area

As you can see well worth a drive in a hot summer day to have a nice cool swim and lunch, the water looks great and is where the town water is drawn from
Beyond the beaches and bays, flat pastures give way to rolling hillocks, mountains, ranges and the streams of the Byfield township and Byfield National Park.
Red Rock, Waterpark Creek, and Upper Stoney Creek are popular camping grounds. Byfield also features Fern's Hideaway, a holiday retreat and restaurant set on the forested banks of Waterpark Creek. On the coast, sweeping beaches interspersed with coral cays back onto the world-heritage Iwasaki and Shoalwater Wetlands. Regardless of the risks, Stockyard, Corbett's Landing, and Sandfly Creek are popular fishing locations.
Further north, and despite its remoteness, Five Rocks is a popular camping and 4WD destinations. Beyond are the pristine wildnerness areas of Shoalwater Bay, Townshend Island, and Stanage.
