Byron hinterland

Mullumbimby

Locals call it "Mullum," and its old joke of a nickname — the Biggest Little Town in Australia — still fits a place with a music scene and a sense of community well out of proportion to its size.

About Mullumbimby

Mullumbimby recorded around 3,600–4,200 residents at the 2021 Census depending on the exact boundary used, twenty minutes inland from Byron Bay along the Brunswick River valley. Its heritage-listed main street still carries the shopfronts from its early-1900s heyday as a dairy, banana, and sugar cane centre, and the town's old hydro-electric power station complex has state heritage listing of its own. These days small-crop and boutique horticulture has mostly replaced cane and dairy on the surrounding flats.

Mullumbimby has a strong reputation for live music — pubs like the Middle Pub have long hosted informal Sunday sessions — alongside markets, galleries, and a community that grew significantly through the alternative-lifestyle movement of the 1970s and after. Mullumbimby is Bundjalung Country; for matters of language, cultural protocol, or country and family connections, local Bundjalung organisations and native title bodies are the right contact — not this website.
