Contributor's comments: In Byron Bay, there are three ways people refer to the town and which of the three they choose marks them down as either old-time local, blow-in local or tourist. Old-time locals, who have had a connection with the town since before the Aquarius festival and subsequent tourist influx, call the town "the Bay", a tag which is picked up by our conservative local paper to try and privilege the 'real' culture of the town. People arriving since that time (and out of town trendies) tend to call it Byron. Tourists, backpackers, etc. call the town 'Byron Bay'.
