No I'm in Victoria but I bet we live in very similar towns.. except you have surfers too I bet! Lovely kind of environment (and I'm not a stoner I hasten to add). Artsy fartsy and friendly. I'll send you a PM.
I moved here 4-5 years ago, from Victoria.
We are about 90 mins inland from Byron Bay so not too many resident surfers - however we do get a lot coming here on daytrips. We are in the hills...lots of trees and wildlife...I love it (I'm not a stoner either - did it at Uni and grew out of it then).
Look forward to your PM - I'm trying to recall the hippy towns in Vic at the moment....the one that springs to mind starts with D.
