Conveniently filmed when the street isn't ridden with cars, drunks, unsettled locals and aggressive homeless people who hate anyone with money that coincidentally happens to be anyone on holiday (70% of the pop). Most locals here that I speak with are upset with what the town has gradually been turning into, like an extension of Sydney with brand name fashion stalls etc. It's always been about the food, the beach, the surf, the laid back easy going peaceful vibes, the climate, the plants, the trees, the bush.. nature in other words, very much geared toward environmentalists, biocentrists and surfers. What it is now is over prostituted and on the coping vices to suppress its emotions. My advice would be to send the place love and don't come unless that's the only thing you wish to bring here, just sweet unconditional considerate and conscientious love. No more coming just to get f&*ked up, destroying public property, doing whatever you want because you think that's what its about, swearing into the street all through the night disturbing locals and wildlife, throwing bottles cigarettes and rubbish everywhere, taking trolleys and throwing them in the creeks, vomiting and urinating on peoples shops and filling the streets with unroadworthy cars.. just no.. this kind is not welcome, do not come here unless you're nice, and want to do the right thing by its fragile environment.

00:06 that lady walking her dog, i see her every time i'm at work in byron. she once called me meek and meager, i wasn't sure what to take of that at first and now i see it as a compliment :)

Looks interesting place! But it looks super laid back! But I guest the weather is much better than Sydney!
