byron life

Byron Bay has an active community that takes advantage of the music, theatre, sporting and social activities that are on offer.  A community that began life as a logging town, then a whaling station, then an abattoir, Byron Bay was changed by the arrival of the hippies and surfers of the 1960s and 70s.  What has resulted is a diverse mix of political, lifestyle and spiritual beliefs which takes the community of Byron Bay beyond definition and stereotype.  What binds them all is a love of the town and a commitment to maintaining the environment and the quality of life that they enjoy.
