As one of the most visited holiday destinations in the whole of Australia, Ballina has a lot to offer to its admirers. Located in New South Wales, Australia, the city is truly in a class of its own.
For the lovers of jogging, cycling and walking, Ballina is the ideal. In fact, there are more than fourteen kilometres of shared pathways that specifically suit them! Ballina, whose name has been said to mean ‘the place of many oysters’, is the perfect location for the whole family to have fun. You can let the kids skateboard or rollerblade on this shared tarmac while you jog beside them. It is common to see the locals walking their dogs in the evenings or jogging early mornings.
Another key encounter in Ballina is the vibrant bird life. For the experienced and budding ornithologists or just anyone looking to meet some rare birds, their need will be met and they will be able to capture those stunning moments on camera. Although the whole area has many birds, Lake Chickiba, Richmond River Natural Reserve and Mobbs Bay are some of the exceptional bird watching spots. Some of the bird species to be found here include the Red-backed Fairy Wren, Whistling Kite, Emerald Dove and Pheasant Coucal. The tourist desks across the region have brochures listing the thousands of birds that live in Australia.
Ballina is associated with excellent food. This is especially so when it comes to seafood and the local traditional foods. It is the one city that is lined with excellent restaurants, ambient cafesand bistros. Ballina motels serve diverse cuisine; from sushi, Italian pizza, Indian food, modern Australian food and many others that have the ability to awaken the dullest of taste buds. It is particularly fulfilling to enjoy breakfast in the coastal village cafes which are famed for sourcing coffee from the local areas.
For the tourist who gets a kick from flying high with a bird’s eye view, what better place than Ballina to indulge in air adventures? It is home to several air adventure companies who specialize in taking tourists round the area to afford them see the hinterlands and the surrounding lands.The air tour companies have helicopters and fixed-wing planes to give the visitor a choice.
Another spectacular encounter in Ballina would be Lake Ainsworth. Named after the son of one of the first families from Europe to set camp here in the mid 19th century, it is a great place to tour. The fresh water lake is a lagoon that is great for activities like canoeing or kayaking. The waters of the lake are perpetually discoloured by the Tee Tree tannins that leach from the trees around it. The best thing about Lake Ainsworth is that a family can enjoy a picnic around its picturesque surroundings.
