Our Region

At the mouth of the Richmond River is the town of Ballina, the commercial and cultural heart of the area. The streets are lined with stylish restaurants and cafes where you can sample fresh local seafood and cuisine. The town is absolutely brimming with things to do and see... visit the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum, discover treasure troves of antique and curios, art and craft shops and markets; browse the boutiques, stroll the magnificent Kerry Saxby river walk and bike paths, or take your pick of fun activities for the kids.

Enjoy a leisurely cruise on the Richmond River; journey the teaming wetlands of North Creek by kayak or thrill to the annual migration of the humpback whales from any of the coastal headlands. The fishing at Flat Rock and Angels Beach is legendary and, if you wet your line at dawn from Ballina's North or South Walls, you're in for a breakfast feast!
