Local Attractions Rolling green hills, lush pastures and tropical plantations lead to 32kilometres of sweeping unspoilt white sand beaches, the tranquil Richmond River and Ballina Shire. Discover the astonishing natural beauty of pristine waterways, wander through quiet country hinterland and escape to the peace and relaxation of a diverse range of affordable accommodation that suits families on a budget or those looking for a little luxury. There are comfortable motels and resorts, as well as camping and caravan parks, bed & breakfasts, self contained units or even holiday rental houseboats. Enjoy the relaxing pastimes of historic river cruises, sunset cycle rides along meandering cycle or walkways, enthralling rainforest and waterfall eco tours or exhilarating horse rides along sweeping secluded beaches and native forest land. There's always something to do in Ballina with an Olympic pool and water slide, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, walking, roller skating, boating, sailing and fishing. Savour the splendour of Ballina's fresh seafood from the Fishermen's Co-op, or dine in one of a number of fine restaurants that feature innovative regional cuisine. Ballina has a thriving commercial centre, including the recently expanded Ballina Fair Shopping Centre, large supermarkets and two industrial estates. Fresh local seafood is a major component of the local economy, as is sugar cane which is grown extensively on the coastal plain. The Richmond River was discovered in 1828 and was settled by the "timber getters". Ballina derived its name from the Aboriginal word "Bullenah," which means "place where oysters are plentiful".
