Byron Bay Australia

Not just another tourist destination. Some people actually live here!

There's enough tourism based websites in Byron Bay already. So we've got a new plan for byronbaynow.com.

The truth is, Byron is extremely diverse culturally. We figure the best way to show people exactly how diverse, is to grow byronbaynow.com to include more timely information about the issues facing the people of Byron Bay and the Shire. So in the coming weeks you'll see some changes around here. The next generation of the site will shift in focus to the issues that makes Byron Bay unique.

We'll be sure to keep the information our visitors already find useful - such as accommodation and other guides.

If you'd like to chat to some locals - feel free to pop over the forum at Bayweb and say G'day.

Thursday Plantation Sculpture Show

10th Anniversary of Thursday Plantation East Coast Sculpture Show

17 September 2005 – 31 January 2006

The prestigious Thursday Plantation East Coast Sculpture Show is marking its 10th Anniversary by featuring around 50 new works by the show’s previous winners.

Running over four months, this special invitation event celebrates the dynamic artists of the Northern Rivers region, and acknowledges their commitment to the show. It also includes artists from around Australia and abroad.

The show is installed in the rainforest gardens of TP Health’s headquarters on the Pacific Highway, near Ballina, northern New South Wales. The gardens incorporate a permanent sculpture collection and gallery that are open to the public all year round.

The show’s opening day on Saturday, 17 September, runs from 12 noon to 5pm. The Willow Neilson Quartet and guest artist Gyan will provide entertainment from 1pm onwards, with the prize-giving ceremony taking place at 2pm. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic or else lunch at the Verandah Café.

Entrance to the show costs $5 and includes a chance to win season tickets to the Woodford Folk Festival.
