We stayed in Byron but we were way out in the bush for a lot of it scrambling and climbing up hills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We did have a training day at Byron Bay Swimming Pool, which was interesting. They chucked us all into the pool in full military garb and told us to swim laps and see who lasted the longest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d never been to Byron Bay before so just getting to explore the town was amazing, but also filming out on location.
