@Sister The biggest changes are in Mullumbimby where I spent 20 years. It's gone from Hippie Haven to young Start Up companies all operated via the internet. It has changed the nature of country towns where once upon a time young couples just wanted to get out. Now they all want to get in, lol.
Byron Bay doesn't have an off season anymore and is always full of backpackers.
Suffolk Park is full of tradie/surfies and millionaires.
There's not much in between.
Our biggest attraction these days would have to be Music Festivals.
There's one on every month with people from all over the place converging in the one spot with all their different germs.
The locals know to keep away from Woollies at such times, lol.
