Discover Mullumbimby: Things To Do

Mullumbimby

The ‘biggest little town in Australia’ is our home, so you could say we’re a bit biased. But it really has so many things going for it, and the fact that many Byron folk have in recent years chosen to relocate here gives you a good idea of its appeal. Because whilst big sister Byron has grown up into a bit of a glamour, Mullum, as it’s affectionately known, still gets around in bare feet. Wholesome, unaffected and a bit alternative, she’s the laid-back little sis that’s both carefree and charming.

Don’t let her diminutive size fool you though. There are some gems (literally) to be found in and around Mullum, from food to craft beer, and even a touch of tropical Asia. Here are some of our favourites…

One for the ages: is there anything more universally loved than woodfired pizza? There are gluten-free and vegan options, just a few other choice Italian dishes — and smokey bbq fried chicken wings (we don’t think they’re Italian and we don’t care. They’re good).
