The Coveted GOLDEN Backpacks Award is BACK!
We are in the middle of winter here in Australia which means a couple of things to backpackers in the country. One thought on most of our minds or more like a regret are those jumpers we left back in our homeland. It's Australia why do I need to bring a jumper? I have plenty of boardies and thongs! Whoops.

Arts Factory Open Day and World Record Fire Twirling Attempt

The Arts Factory Village was the focal point, even the birthplace of much of the fame and spirit of Byron. It began as an actual Piggery in 1898, then in the early 70's, many local, as well as international artists, hippies and alternate life-stylers turned it into a creative "Arts Factory"...

Show me the whales and get a FREE night!

The humpback whales have returned to Byron Bay! The humpbacks pass right by the cape during their seasonal migration along the east coast of Australia. Every year for five months they come into the bay slapping their tales and breaching making Byron Bay one of the best spots in Australia to see the whales. This year we're going to have a little photo competition that goes a little like this...



Get to The Arts Factory! By Any Means!
Charley Boorman is on his way from Sydney to Japan traveling using any means of transportation necessary. Following the phenomenal success of Long Way Round, Race to Dakar and Long Way Down, adventurer extraordinaire Boorman is back with a brand new voyage. Boorman stayed for a night before hitching a ride with an AFL backpacker battling wind storms flood waters to complete the Byron to Brisbane leg of his journey.

Vai Pra Onde? Brazilian television visits AFL!

Arts Factory Does Earth Hour!

On March 28th Arts Factory got together to raise awareness for the conservation of Earth's resources. We hosted a candle lit acoustic jam session with guitars, drums and poetry. Arts Factory guests got up and expressed feelings towards global environmental changes. The people here are concerned about the current state of our environment and want to educate and make others aware. Earth Hour was a perfect opportunity for us and our guests to show that we care and want to make a difference. Click on to see more information and photos.
