Everyone knows Shanghai -
but Byron? Where's Byron Bay?
Byron Bay is located on the most easterly point of the
Australian coastline. It is a destination that attracts
many tourists from all around the globe.
Importantly, Byron Bay has also become the
centre of an emerging hub for the screen industries as
evidenced by the amount of film and screen industry workers
relocating here in recent years. At
the nearby Gold Coast Warner Brother's have set up studios
and several big budget movies have been produced there.

B&F
PEOPLE >>
We are real :)
This is the first of a series of articles on B&F people.
It is about someone who is making a big impact around
here...
Felix is someone who really has a new start!

Creative Director Ian McArthur
and partner Susan welcomed Felix Jared into the world
a few weeks ago and have not stopped since ;) Ian says
that although he is not getting as much sleep as he would
like this is a great event for us. Felix means lots of
changes - as one would expect...but it is fantastic!

Susan says she's just exhausted, but he's perfect.
Apparently The sign of the Rooster
indicates a person who might make good restaurant owners
and world travellers. This sounds good to us. We would
like to get Felix out into the world as soon as possible
and are looking forward to visiting Shanghai in coming
months with Felix. The name Felix means "happy &
prosperous"...
The Chinese Culture Center
of San Francisco reports that people born in
the Year of the Rooster [1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969,
1981, 1993, 2005] are deep thinkers, capable, and talented.
They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities
and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born
in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often
have rather difficult relationship with others. They always
think they are right and usually are! They frequently
are loners and though they give the outward impression
of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people¡žs
emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very
low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always
interesting and can be extremely brave.
Mmmm...looks like interesting times ahead :)
