O'Neill - Marvell Street, Byron Bay
The now popular Marvell Street extends from Jonson Street all the way up to Massinger Street, broken up by the Byron Bay sports field.
Judging by the reserve in the background of this old window card, we believe the fibro cottage would have been somewhere opposite the bowling club.
|
|
|
| Most probably a quiet suburban street when this photo was taken, the town side of Marvell Street is now a major thoroughfare for traffic accessing the Byron Bay CBD and is seeing a gradual transformation from residential into commercial real estate. |

There is something quite magical about Wategos Beach...
Nestled under Australia's most easterly point and the Cape Byron Lighthouse, the sand seems whiter and the ocean a spectacular shade of turquoise.
Dolphins, turtles and migrating humpback whales seem to like it too, as they're often spotted frolicking close by. Often the local surfers have the privilege of sharing a wave or two with a dolphin.
Another special feature about Wategos Beach is the way in which the headland sweeps around to face the Mount Warning hinterland, enabling front row viewing of the magnificent afternoon sunsets. There really is no other place like it.

4 quirky ideas to add colour to your balcony garden
With more and more people living in small town houses, units or apartments these days, styling and gardening ideas are more important than ever to ensure you love the space you live in.
Here are some great tips to maximise the outdoor space feel, when you only have a small balcony or patio.
1. Green grass
It’s the first thing people think of when they imagine a backyard, but it’s completely possible on a balcony too. Artificial turf is looking more real than ever and of course there’s the added bonus of no mowing.
2. Vertical gardens
To create a vertical garden on your balcony, keep an eye out for old ladders and shelving units. With a lick of paint to add personality, they’re great, cost-effective tools that can be used to create more surface areas for your plants.
3. Vine life
There’s no need to feel restrained by the walls of your balcony – use them as growing space for a glorious creeping vine, such as Boston Ivy. Just wait until the seasons change and you’ll notice your Ivy will change colour with the weather, turning from lush green to epic orange and everything in between. They only need a small pot to grow in and they’ll do the hard work climbing up the walls to give you glorious full coverage. Just be sure to keep an eye on where those little arms grow and make sure the climbing plant steers clear of any plumbing. Also make sure the ivy doesn’t stray too far onto your neighbour’s space. Pruning this beauty will be an excuse to spend more time in your lovely new-look balcony garden.
|
|
|
4. Feeling fruity
If you’re a fan of fresh fruit, then don’t be put off growing your favourite varieties just because you don’t have ground space. Most varieties grow well in pots too. You can even ask your local nursery for a grafted tree to get double the variety. Just think of the cocktails you could enjoy on your deck with a tree that grows both lemons and limes.

Valeria 'V' Feckes
How long have you lived in Byron Bay?
15 years.
What brought you to the area?
I came up to spend more time with my family and of course a lifestyle change.
Do you know any other languages?
Yes I do, Hungarian. Even though I am Australian born, my parents are from Hungary and taught me to speak Hungarian from an early age, which I am appreciative for.
What do you love most about Byron Bay?
The diversity of the people who live and visit our beautiful part of the world. There's never a dull day in Byron Bay.
How long have you been in the hospitality industry?
Since I left school, but for as long as I can remember I've always found myself in a kitchen cooking food with and for family and friends. They always say the kitchen is the heart of every home, and this statement rings true with who I am everyday.
You’re going to be a part of an exciting new café opening in Byron shortly?
We will be opening Velvet Byron Bay, which I’m very excited to say, is opening early next week after many months of work! We chose the name Velvet to reflect our high quality offerings and warm, calming space – just like the waters that surround Byron.
Where will the café be and what can people expect?
You’ll be able to find us at 3/30 Fletcher Street, just behind Fundies and Australia Post. (Also accessible from the corner of Byron and Fletcher Street).
People can expect fresh, healthy and nourishing food that won’t break the bank or hurt the earth! We use local, seasonable produce where possible and serve coffee and food in packaging that is either compostable or biodegradable. We are also the proud owners of the new revolutionary coffee machine 'modbar'. But most of all, we wanted to create a space where all of our customers feel comfortable and taken care of.
What is your favourite beach in Byron?
I'm not sure I have a favourite beach so to speak, but each and every sunrise and sunset is unique and special to where we live and call home.
Complete this sentence –
My ideal day starts with... coffee
& finishes with... memories of a day that was...
