Ebb and Flow

For many of us, the price we pay for living in this slice of paradise is having to travel far and wide for work. It can be an exciting, draining, and relationship-straining existence, but returning home each time is made so much sweeter by the time away. Local musician, Charles Wall AKA Bobby Alu, and environmental lawyer, Nina Lucas, are no strangers to this lifestyle, each having to regularly leave Byron Shire for music tours and legal cases. We caught them both on a rare weekend at home.

Pancakes With Purpose

Pancakes With Purpose

When we’re young, we often get asked ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ It’s a cute conversation starter, but let’s be real, there’s no way some of us could have fathomed where we would end up.

Near Death: Facing the possibility of death

The events of our lives leave an indelible mark on who we are — inspiring a different direction, new philosophies and changed priorities. The smallest things can pivot us in ways we couldn’t have ever predicted.

The Food Comeback

The Food Comeback

A dreamy sense of nostalgia can be brought on by a myriad of things – a favourite song from our youth, the scents of summer holidays by the seaside, a piece of clothing from a cringe-worthy past fashion fad.

Slow Down

Slow Down

The seasons change. Nature flows with this transition and changes to suit. Our energy is different in summer than it is in winter. So why do we stay so rigid to a repeating work/life schedule for 365 days a year?

Medicinal Tea

Medicinal Tea

I love nothing more than a nice cup of tea – even on a steamy hot summer’s day, I’ll gladly sip a piping hot cuppa. And of course, we all know that more can be gained from cups of tea than just a comforting beverage.

The Activists

The Activists

I got asked a while back whether I consider myself an activist, and at the time I shied away from the label—I wasn’t out on the frontline chaining myself to trees, so did I deserve to add ‘Activist’ to my title?

We’re kind of new here

We’re kind of new here

Living in the Northern Rivers there is a constant pull between the ocean and the hills. While both are easily accessible from each other, it still feels like a lifestyle choice to be by the sea or nestled among the trees just a little inland.

For the love of weeds

For the love of weeds

Apart from the occasional time that my mum would coax us kids into helping her weed the garden, I can’t say that I’ve ever really given much thought to weeds.

Current Muse– John Wolseley

John Wolseley is an artist who works within nature – he doesn’t capture scenery, he brings the audience deep inside landscapes, immersing them in the intricacies of an entire ecosystem.
