    I will be returning to Mylestom after 10 years of caring for my parents in Victoria. I hope to get back into band work when
    I return. I do videos and am ex ABC TV, news and current affairs but I prefer to let someone else to the camera work now.

      @@GethinColes Fate will cause us to meet. I look like an European version of Jesus who plays flute and tin whistle at the Bellingen Markets sometimes. It will be interesting to see how everyone has aged. 10 years can have a dramatic effect.

    It more commercialistic now then ever. Home is not what it once was. Bello's attraction of people from the cities and generally materialistic people who view Bello as place to be exploited has turned it into another Byron Bay.

      Unfortunately this gentrification happens everywhere. It's like the artists and hippies are the pioneer species of this process. But in nature they form the basis for a diverse ecosystem, I can't say that's true for gentrification. This film wasn't made as a promotional film for the region I see it now as just a little snapshot of the time. Capitalism sucks

    Just for the record, our First Nation peoples were not “tenants” but Traditional Owners of this great land. This comment ruined the beauty of the video unfortunately.

    • @GethinColes

      The comment is said from the point of view of those interlopers. It is supposed to be be barbed, but not towards First nations folks, rather towards the people who stole the land.

      Just for the record, our First Nations people ARE the Traditional CUSTODIANS. Ownership of land is white mans thinking. Every indigenous peoples around the world views their relationship with the land as a custodial one of nurture, not ownership and exploitation.
