The Byron shire is in Australia's northern coastal region of New South Wales (NSW). Byron shire spans about 30,000 people over a number of towns including Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores and Brunswick Heads. Participants in our group come from these towns, their surroundings and from the broader Northern Rivers region. The beautiful beaches and interesting towns make this area one of Australia's top tourist destinations. But in addition the area has become well known as place of alternative lifestyle, healing and conscious living. If you are a homeschooler thinking of a move, we would love to hear from you!
