In , after the end of what she calls an “unfortunate relationship”, Eve Jeffery left her home in Myrtleford, north-east Victoria, with her two young children, hit the road in her yellow Kombi and drove north, to Byron Bay, on the far north coast of NSW. Back then, before the tourist boom that has subsequently swamped it, Byron was a quiet place, a counter-culture refuge with reliably great surf, a strong sense of community, and as much wholefood as you could eat. Jeffery is an amply bosomed year-old woman with greying hair and a silver nose ring, an enthusiastic nudist with what she calls “tuck-shop-lady arms” and “a bum the size of a small country”. She is a vegan who likes to make fun of vegans, a one-time theatre producer, puppeteer and animal lover who helps pythons off the road and slows down for wallabies. She’s also partial to writing and photography. In , she was hired by the Byron Shire Echo , a progressive weekly newspaper. She has worked there ever since, toiling away beneath a cartoon of a surfing caveman named Fug and a bumper sticker that reads “Honk if you are Jesus”. The Echo’s offices are not actually in Byron Bay but the small town of Mullumbimby, 15 minutes’ drive away.
