The musical that got the whole region talking is back, for two nights only, at the Byron Theatre, 8–9 February. This new musical, created by local musicians and performers, is an absolute ‘must see’ – it’s funny, deeply moving and resonated loudly with local audiences.

Police say a man has died following a crash in Murwillumbah overnight.

Emergency services were called to Ewing Street, just after 8pm (Monday June 23), after reports a car had crashed into a guard rail and then into the front porch of a house.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Police District attended along with NSW Ambulance paramedics who commenced CPR; however, the 59-year-old driver – and sole-occupant – was unable to be revived.

No one else was injured and there was minor damage to the house.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
