If Susan Mckenzie’s mother (Beat your own drum, Letters, September 14) is such a longtime local, she would know that sitting near the biggest pub in Byron Bay is not likely to be a quiet spot to listen to the sea, drumming or no drumming.
Why didn’t Susan and mum take their fish and chips down to Belongil, or to Clarkes Beach, or any of the numerous quiet beaches round Byron Bay instead of choosing a busy tourist spot and then complaining about the noise?

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Maybe, what if we put the drummers on the beach where the kite surfers ,umm. kitesurf ?
