Tourist Drive 28 – Hinterland
Escape to the Heart of the Ballina and Byron Hinterland on Tourist Drive 28.
Take a journey through the captivating Ballina and Byron hinterland, where the pace slows, and the charm unfolds with every turn. This picturesque drive, reminiscent of the rolling hills of Tuscany, is a feast for the senses, offering delightful surprises at every corner. From thriving working farms to historic villages brimming with character, artist studios, and a generous sprinkling of cosy cafes and charming Bed and Breakfasts, there’s something truly special to discover.
Make time to fill your basket with fresh, locally grown produce from the many inviting roadside stalls dotted along the way. Nature lovers will be enchanted by the region’s lush National Parks, where rainforest trails lead to breathtaking waterfalls, adding a touch of magic to your adventure.
Spanning 70 kilometres, this scenic tourist drive is a treasure trove of experiences. While six hours will give you a taste, a full day is highly recommended to fully immerse yourself in its beauty. Keep an eye out for the official attractions, conveniently marked by the iconic white-on-brown tourist drive signs.
Embark on this unforgettable journey and let the Ballina and Byron hinterland reveal its timeless charm.
