Surfing is an iconic part of Australian history, intertwined within our culture and synonymous with our way of life.

Byron Bay remains one of the most popular surfing towns within Australia, tourists come to learn to surf, locals regard it as a lifestyle choice rather than a hobby. It is a subject you may choose at school and the rules out on the waves are regarded as the law.

Thus it comes as no surprise that such a backdrop as Byron Bay should play host to an exhibition of decades of Australian surf art and photography, spawned from the sub-culture of beach life in Australia that began in the 1950′s.

The opportunity to view the art of a unique part of Australia’s history has come to Retrospect gallery in Byron Bay. With over 20 Australian and international artists the exhibition will be showing from the 11th to the 25th of March.
