Lots of anguished comments on this Yamba piece suggesting it will 'ruin' the place (aka: flood it with tourists & hurry it into being the next Byron Bay). I'm not sure that's how it works...does it? For @australia.theguardian.com
A local’s guide to Yamba: ‘We’re surrounded by rivers, lakes, rock pools and beaches’
