Introducing Ballina
With Byron above and the idyllic fishing villages south of the Richmond River below, Ballina is planted somewhere between a commercial centre and a wannabe tourist lure. This is actually the town’s saving grace, as it has maintained a coastal ambience without tarting itself up for the holiday bucks.
