They want to ban people from smoking on the beach? Or do they want to ban people from dropping buts on the beach? What about coffee cups or fish and chip boxes? First it was sleeping on the beach, now smoking on the beach, then maybe we cant kiss or stroke our lovers on the beach???? How are you going to police it - why dont you put your energy into something a little more useful, like working out why the council wont put money into the youth activity center?
Why is the council ignoring the fact that the streeties and parkies all live there now? Its a squat.
Why do the kids still get in to some [...]

Woman fights off great white at Byron Bay
Attack feared: A white pointer shark
A 52-year-old surf-skier is being treated in hospital after being attacked by a great white shark at Byron Bay, on the New South Wales North Coast. Police say the shark knocked the woman off her surf ski about 150 metres off the town’s main beach just after 11:00am (AEST). She managed to get back on her ski and fight off the shark, which police say was two-and-a-half to three metres long, but she suffered deep cuts to her arms. The woman, from Coopers Shot, near Byron Bay, is being treated in hospital. Lifesavers have closed the beach at the request of police.

A beach shack for $15 million? That’s pocket money for some of the millionaires vying for property at Byron Bay. THEY came in their 20s, toting surfboards in Kombis, in search of the perfect wave. Now in their 50s, they’re returning to Byron Bay, but this time they come by private jet or sports car, in search of the ultimate beachside mansion.
Mega-wealthy executives from Sydney and Melbourne are splashing out millions of dollars on Byron property, keen to live the surfies’ dream while broadband internet and frequent flights south ensure they don’t miss out on making a buck. Much of this money is flooding into the exclusive enclave of Wategos Beach, nestled beneath Cape Byron Lighthouse away from the [...]
