Suffolk Park Pub - Friday Nights

Friday Nights, Suffolk Park Pub. 5.30pm.Suffolk Park Pub Friday nights

Originally created by Michael Beasley (publisher) for a local get together!

For the many locals who live here, we don't really  have a gay scene as such, but ya still gotta have a beer with ya mates and check out the fresh meat..

Results.... usually anywhere between 8 and 20 or so over the night, Had the Sydney gay & Lesbian swimteam there last year, place was full of poofs... and not one homophobic comment.

Respect... understand it is a straight local pub in a small country village by the sea. The pub is the only watering hole in the place. We all share the space, mums, dads, aunties, builders plumbers, single mums, divorced dads, gay boys, lesbians, you name, we all get on.. But respect the straight boys they are all very tolerant and bloody good fun to drink with.

It is a great place for a beer any night of the week really. Sunday afternoons are always popular too. Food is great, so good we gave them a write up in here. (Insert Link )

Best steaks in Byron still, Cheapest beers in Byron, and for me the pink guide bloke, 150 metres from my front doorstep, staggering distance.. ;)

All I can say see for yourself.

Michael.

villas pool byron bay

The Villas of Byron     

....have been open for few years now.

I have had the opportunity to stay there a couple of
times and I gotta say I always remember it as a great
memory. They are  a real quiet achiever in the luxury
end of the market for where to stay in Byron.       

       In winter you have your own private pool and spa
to play in, in your own sun drenched courtyard.
This is the best place in Byron for privacy, luxury and
all round top of the range.

Fag Tag Fridays

Don't forget Fag Tag Fridays at the Suffolk Park Pub. Come along and meet some of the local boys from 5pm. 

Kings Beach.
Its looking as beautiful as ever despite the weather conditions of late. Some hints though.... 

Take water for the day, keep hydrated. Treat the beach and walkways with respect and
do not stray off them.  If you are not sure about where to swim at the beach ask a local.

Don't just dive in anywhere. it is a quite dangerous beach at times and there has many
close calls with people being swept away.Take all your rubbish away with you.
This includes cigarette butts. DO NOT SIMPLY STOMP THEM INTO THE GROUND!
They take years to decompose and choke turtles and other wildlife.

Above all have a wonderful stay in the Northern Rivers and enjoy the events.

And.. After all the party fun you will need a massage, call Danielle From
Resonate Therapy, Details on front page. She is a great masseur.

So Head to the new Byron Bay Tattooing at 31 Lawson St, opposite Aquarius Backpackers. Go in and see Brad and the guys. For many many years visitors to Byron Bay have consistently asked about a good friendly tattoo artist and we have never had one. Well now we do.

Farmers Markets

How good is it to take a basket to the Farmers Market and fill it with fresh, organic, locally-grown food? Extra good, that's how. This is the old idea of a market to support local growers and feed the townsfolk, refreshed and updated to include the innovative alongside the traditional. Byron's produce includes both tropical and temperate fruit and vegetables, as well as meat, eggs, coffee and a whole range of gourmet items to enhance your cuisine. See below for a list of dates and locations of farmers' markets.

Drive to Nimbin....

Everyone does is, apparently 80% of visitor to the region go to Nimbin. On the way check out ElthamNimbin

Valley Pantry, ideal place to stop for brunch or a cuppa, and do the pecan pie, best in the country.
See

When you get to Nimbin call into the visitor information centre and check out what's happening.

On the way back call into Dragon Fly Cafe Lismore, See here for address (google map link) Other things of interest in Lismore is their gallery walk, details are available from the Visitor Information Centre at the corner of Molesworth St and Ballina Rd Lismore.


Brunswick Heads....

Located a quick 15 min drive north of Byron Bay Brunswick Heads appears to be missed by developers. It's a quiet small seaside town at the mouth of the Brunswick River. The marina has a great fish co-op and ideal to pick up some great fresh seafood. For a good meal hit the Bruns pub, it does the best meals around town. On you way there or on your way home call into Mullumbimby and have a walk around this great little alternative town.  Mullumbimby.
