There are very few places in Australia with the sub-tropical climate of Byron Bay that offer in equal measure superb beaches and pastoral hinterland and teaming rain-forests. Byron is unique because Byron Bay is nestled in front of beautiful mountain ranges that tumble into the sea. Mount Chincogan and Mount Warning loom and follow you as the roads twist and turn. But follow all the roads downhill and you will end up at some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. Beautiful and Safe! What the tourism brochures do not tell you about the beautiful Northern Territory and even Far North Queensland is that swimming in the ocean is dangerous – there are many stingers, blue bottles, jelly ...

What I love most about Byron Bay is that it is so very full of surprises. I moved here 8 years ago and after having been born and bred in the UK I was, needless to say, a little culture shocked. Byron Bay offers the obvious clichés and stereotypes: hippies colliding with back-packers; the youth colliding with the oldest swingers in town; $5 Cheeky Monkeys with $100 Dish Diners; those channelling dolphins and those kayaking with the dolphins; the walking towards the light and those stumbling in the dark and throwing up in the bins behind the Beach Hotel - It's all here and it's all wondrous, earthy and ethereal all at the same time. Yesterday, as I was ambling up Jonson Street after th ...

The sky is falling. Stocks and Shares are evaporating. The world is about to see a financial panic like it has never known before. I role over in my big comfortable bed in Byron Bay and I say, 'Who cares?' Now you might think I am a wealthy heartless bastard. But I assure you it is not the case. The reason that I do not particularly care is that my world is built upon lifestyle and emotional needs. In general these things are not affected when the sky falls down. I made very conscious choices about what I want in my life. A healthy wholesome lifestyle that was not built on survival panic or material greed was the basis. Another was to surround myself with love - loving people who could encou ...

I can truly say that Byron Bay is different. It is the pioneer; the test ground; the pilot episode for a new reality show. Byron Bay is innovative, brave and full of heart. "Where's your proof. Where's all the empirical investigation? How can you be so sure?" Well, I have one word for all you sceptics - Pink Nail Polish (OK, 3 words). I recently went to visit two dear friends who have two little boys (I can hear a Rolf Harris Song Coming on). Their sons are called Zade, almost 3 and Jaya, 6 months. Two little angels, really sweet and curious and so joyful. These little bundles of Oxytocin (love and bonding hormone) fill my heart and give me hope. Children in Byron are raised with a different ...
