Tyagarah Lake and Smelly Ants in your Pants

There used to be a little secret in Byron Bay – then it hit the internet and it’s not such a secret anymore. But it still has the whisper of a secret. It’s an oasis of tea-tree wonder. It’s a pristine lake – the colour of Golden Syrup or well brewed silky tea. It’s free [...]

Byron Bay Beauties

Here they come the beautiful ones … I have been avoiding the subject; it feels a little exposing (and that’s the subject). I feel I might be misunderstood when I speak of what I cannot speak about. When I even hint at what I want to say I blush in beautiful Byron Bay. I guess [...]

There’s a big difference in living in Byron Bay and being a tourist in Byron Bay. There is a whole different vibe. For example, the locals are smiling when it’s raining because it means green lush vegetation, beautiful gardens, pumping veggie patches and of course full water tanks.

Byron and the Old Woman and the Tattoo

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.
