It’s more than 40 years since many of the ‘old settlers’ of areas such as Main Arm and Huonbrook first put down roots in the Mullumbimby region, so it’s probably a surprise that last weekend saw their first ever reunion on the banks of the Brunswick River. And Mullum’s original hippies announced the event – and their great social experiment – a success.

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.

Wish I would have known about this as I was a part of it in Upper Main Arm from about ’71 too. Good to see Ken & Carol were there, from Cosmic Song & Dance/Nerada.
