Australia Day Byron Bay Way
The Australia Day Paddle from Wategos to Main Beach is a great thing to do on January 26. All money raised goes to charity. It is a fun way to meet the locals, speak English, get some exercise, give back to the community and have a BBQ.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the BBELS family
We would like to wish all our past, present and future students a Merry Xmas and a happy New Year.
For those students who are in Byron Bay for the holidays, enjoy an Aussie Xmas! This generally means the beach, prawns and a lazy game of beach cricket at Wategos, The Pass or Main Beach. Remember to get there early to get the best spot.
To all those students in their own countries we hope you have a wonderful day.
In an indication of how Byron Bay people feel strongly about environmental issues, the Coal Seam Gas rally last week was a good example. Hundreds of concerned locals marched from the market park up to Main Beach in wonderful sunshine.
