Steve and Michele Rays, Bigerra Waters. My wife and I reside on the Gold Coast and have been regular visitors to Byron Bay for many years. We stay every year in holiday accommodation at Belongil Beach and always bring our two dogs with us.

M Mizzi, Byron Bay. There we were, me and my four year old son making sandcastles on the beach, the bright afternoon sun slanted through the trees creating shadows and dappled light over our creation when suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere a big boofy, slobbering imbecile of a boxer dog came lumbering onto my son knocking him head first into the sand.
