Raised in Victoria. Grew into an adult in Byron. It shaped how I raised my kids in Queensland. I was there from 92 until 97. My sister still lives there.
I am going to end this incarnation there. ..my kind of paradise. .thanks for this..much love xxx .xxx
I moved here for permaculture principles in 2016 after attending a course in the channon in 2012, then returning to wwoof in 2014. In 2018 i became a manager of an organic farm, but took several steps in a completely different direction after 2019 to go into security working nights. Bizzare twist of fate really. But every day i go for a walk in the afternoon around here im always overwhelmed with how blessed i am and this place is.
Fantastic description , pretty well all bases covered . I've been here since '72 , known Dick since '75 and been working in and around the town since '74 . People ask me why i live here , well this is why -- couldn't have said it better myself . We are thrust out into the ocean here , surrounded by the Pacific . My life has been amazing with the experience i have had , an incredible location to raise my family and see my sons take their young lives out to the wider world and be able to prosper from such a well rounded exposure to the people and the place that Byron & surrounds have become .
I spend half my life in the Philippines these days pursuing my love of tropical waters and the magnificent culture and a lot of people wonder why i have not relocated there - well ! this is why . The Tweed & Brunswick Valleys and the bay they empty out into offer the best of Australia in my opinion and thats why it is my home .
On a more controversial point , i think Queensland border should be Cape Byron , the most easterly point, but i am biased being a 5th gen Qld'er haha, i was squeezed down here by the explosion that became the Gold Coast and Joh's draconian laws of the early '70s , i have a sense of freedom here that is hard to find .

God bless Byron Bay and protect the area from large-scale development. Remember that "they take paradise and they put up a parking lot (car park)."
Brilliant work guys! Respect.
Awesome!! Now I know what I'm missing!!
I was in byron 1995. I loved it. I miss it!
Cool vibe
Lucky to cherish this place!
Such a great video of Byron Bay
Oh how i miss this place.i used to visit here a few times during the eighties.could stay at a hotel at the back of the pub for $20 a night. Maybe one day!
...love..peace ;)
been round here since '72 and couldn't have said it better myself ,, agree with everything Dick had to say and ive known him since the early days of Burleigh & Bali haha .
amazing place to visit if you get the chance 😀
Miss it so much. Best place on earth, but not really near to Germany...
descendent's of my family been in northern rivers since 1899
Yeah, what is this song at 6:22 during the underwater sequence? Can't find it anywhere
There has been a long battle for the soul of Byron waged these last 30 years. Sadly the money has won and the people who made this area wonderful and interesting - the alternates, artists, hippies and dissidents can no longer afford to live here. There are currently 400 single mothers with kids living in their cars here. Its tragic. Richer people appropriated alternate culture but didn't invest in community. Instead of sharing resources they hoard them. You can't find a rental if you are working class, but you can pay $200 a night on air bnb. Why aren't we chaining ourselves to council chambers as one by one our elders are homeless and our friends are forced out. Do the local working poor and homeless have to dress like koalas to be saved as yuppies step over us to get their turmeric lattes?! Shame on you council. Not even one homeless shelter here. Maybe stop paying Rangers to harass the homeless and open one? Chill and love are hypocrisy if you can't care for your most vulnerable.
Check out the far south coast of NSW it's more like Nimbin than Nimbin
What is the song in this video?
wanna see da sea
what is the song in 3:20 ?
Why do I still live in Canada?
do you still live in Canada?
Byron bay is a shit hole
Because Timmies?
There was a clip of a baker that looks like a baker in Nelson BC Canada 🇨🇦 hmmmm
I love the towns attitude to preservation and limiting build heights in the area, really we desperately need this in all places in Australia because some councils are just a bunch of bastards in the way they green light developments and other things. The hunter valley is a prime example. Can you believe some people think high rise buildings are a necessity? sick of living around a bunch of fucking plebs who'd rather live in concrete boxes
Whata hype.. show the over crowded town center. . Talk about the rent.. if u can rent.. its all about air bnb $ ..the crap roads.. the new mega development out at belongil .. the waste of time "bypass" and art😂 where! ? In the galleries. . as for the first generation wana b hippy self sustainable permacultre
Organic mafia with there over priced produce. .
How outlandish that a woman with a child surfs! Thought there's some chemical reaction that occurs in women once they birth a child that physically precludes them from surfing
haha Laura yeah I thought he was a nob also
I guess it's all about perspective. I perceived his comment as very encouraging and supportive to mothers who surf. Which stands in the way of any kind of social stigma that may hinder mothers from doing what they truly love to do. In Byron, everyone of all walks of life, lives and "freely" pursues their passions without fear of judgement. As opposed to many other places in Australia where, sadly expression of oneself is looked down upon.
Lol my name is Byron
There are better bohemian surf communities in NZ byron has gone to the wolves now
Ya not talkin bout rags r u!?
Cos its the nz byron
Overs past its best filled up with money grabbers and blowins and trendy ig hone cme L8leys👎
@@xroadwalker lol not as bad as Byrons got mate
@@xroadwalker But no there are other places
As someone who spends too much time in Byron, i dont get it, its a shithole and boring unless you surf.
Byron sucks Yamba is better.
Also all the locals are super rich!
Whilst i agree with. Much of what has been said , however jan barham you and your mates( i day that with respect) could look at the dune dwellers that live and destroy The environments along the coast dunes around Byron its a blight and disgrace
Look in the forest's behind the gym/music shop it's terrible cringe worthy to say the least.
Yes those pesky serfs who can't afford accomdoation but make your coffee are so inconvenient. Let them eat cake!
