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.
12 years and still one of my favourite videos. Lives in my brain rentfree. I remember I started to learn how to surf when I first saw this video. I'm from Mexico and when I met my former australian bf I couldn't believe that I met someone who had been in Byron bay.
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.
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.
ua-cam.com/video/DYt2SNe0rKw/v-deo.html G'day beautiful people. I recently visited Byron bay for the first time. I have tried vlogging first time including all the beautiful memories. Please leave a feedback on how I can improve. Thanks.
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. .
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!
Wow I love Byron and what it stands for but ain’t it funny how the left stand up for immigration and multiculturalism and not a African or Asia face in sight, they want to preserve their way of life... fair enough,but when city or suburban people say they want to preserve and protect their way of life and they feel they are being pushed out,it’s racism... funny hey
Still watching in 2024

Cool vibe
Beautiful in every way!!
Poor Byron got destroyed by selfish people and is now paying the price
Leave it to the locals , they don’t won’t your money you leeches
Beautiful video. Just made me smile on a cold winter day in the middle of babylon. Much love from the rainbow family in Berlin, Germany.
今年は波のサイズが小さい日が多かったような。 2021年の夏が終わった…また来年な🏄
Such beautiful surfing, scenery and music. The loose board at the end ruined it all for me. Too many injuries from loose boards. Wear a legrope!!!
And where is Lina these days ?
Byron bay is a shit hole.
