Highway crash heading north from Byron

A crash on the Pacific Motorway heading north from the Byron Shire on Monday morning reduced traffic to a single lane around 11am.

The biggest little town in Australia came alive with sound and colour at the weekend for the seventh annual Mullum Music Festival, a sold out success. Quality music, art, food and street performance spread around over a dozen venues gave the town atmosphere and a shared community experience for both locals and musicians.

Support The Echo

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.

  1. A little bit of New Orleans, a little bit of soul by all means, a little bit of country, all dressed and jazzed up with the screaming of a brassy, sexy saxophone.
    Hear that trumpet blare and the shiny trombone moan and the raunchy singer’s tonsil in such a shrilly tone. Well, it was all on the road, and in the street, and on the stair, in the beat and in the heat of a hearty little town with a big heart that’s beating proud. There was no time for napping for people’s feet were tapping and dancing without astepp’n on a bindi at Mullum Music’s Fest where many were their guests in Mullum, Mullumbimby
