 My name is Francene Lee Taylor.  I am an Australian, who spent much of my life overseas. Seventeen years ago I returned to the beautiful Byron Shire on the far north coast of NSW, to enjoy the clean, safe and wholesome lifestyle that the Byron Bay region has to offer. I settled in Wilsons Creek in the Byron Bay hinterland, created organic gardens and roamed free and fearless in the hills.  For a time life was idyllic but this was not to continue!
