Travel Videos - Australia : Byron Bay (pop. 6130)

It seems every backpacker must make the pilgrimage to Byron Bay. Once the centre for peace, love and alternative lifestyles, now home of a growing number of baby boomer 'seachangers' from capital cities down south. With this new mix, Byron is evolving, (and the real estate prices are going through the roof).

Arrived in Byron Sunday night. Byron attracts creative types and also has a huge collection of practitioners of alternative health therapies. To try and capture this I am interviewing John Dahlsen an artist. John makes a daily trip to the beach where he collects plastic waste washed up the night before. From this waste he creates art pieces. I found his art to be like a double edged sword, I was both astounded by the beauty of his art, and repelled by the thought it was all collected from our beaches.

  • Overlander, you always find great locals to get interviews with. And the videos offer more than the usual 'travel video" feel.

  • Thanks BigVolcanonet

    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, that is half the fun

    So much better meeting a local than some celebrity host telling you what to buy ;)

  • PARKWAY DRIVE

  • I've lived byron bay all my life and it's now seriously losing it's peaceful atmosphere because of the huge amount of traffic and renovation that's been going on. Right now they're building a HUGE backpackers right in the middle of town, and it's hideous. If you want to get to town from the west side of byron, there's only  one road, and due to constant traffic, takes atleast half an hour to get there, just so you can buy your groceries!

  • Good on you very well made video

  • @IDGeneratorS Ocean Shores? You mean Open Sores! (built in a drained swamp, mozzies) Better bet would be Brunswick Heads or something, Open Sores is just a residential suburb of Byron.

  • Byron sucks.... drunk idiots fighting, thieves and rapists trawling the beach. Crazy people out your ears. Expensive crap. Add on top of all that a council who are retarded.

    If you're a tourist you'll love it.
