The Charming Village Of Federal
We started our day with a must-have coffee at Moonshine Cafe, followed by a visit to the General Store to stock up on supplies. We then enjoyed some delicious sushi at Doma.
Scenic Drive Through Town Federal
A cool town and an even cooler drive through the hinterlands. Federal situated out of Byron has it all from lemons on the side of the road to cool Japanese restaurants and boutique stores.
Federal General Store
Great little grocer and bottle shop, perfect for a mid-stay restock.

Federal Doma Cafe
Owned and operated by two chefs, Takayuki Kuramoto and Takashi Yaguchi, it represents much of what is fascinating about Australia's current food scene: the spread of vibrant and creative cooking to rural areas.
A Taste Of The Local Life At Common People Brewing Co
Introducing Bangalow's newest craft-beer spot, Common People Brewing Co. The brewery is owned and operated by Northern Rivers locals, who are proud to showcase everything the region has on offer with a beautifully designed and super cosy brewery. The staff were warm and welcoming and gave us great recommendations based on our personal beer preferences. They offer a core range of crafty and seasonal beers plus limited edition Special Batch brews, using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients wherever possible. The food menu is just as impressive, so go with an empty stomach!

Bangalow
Plenty of great cafes/restaurants, unique local stores and gorgeous galleries to explore. Bangalow is a great little town with a lot of hidden little gems.
