With 32 kilometres of beach to choose from in Ballina Shire, you might accuse this lovely area of being an overlooked gem.
Located in the Northern Rivers region, Ballina itself is on the ancestral land of the Bundjalung people. Whether it's named after their word bullinah meaning place of many oysters, or after Ballina in County Tipperary, Ireland where it means mouth of the ford, is still debated.
Ballina's top industries by employment are health care and social assistance at number one, followed by retail, then construction, then education and training, with accommodation and food services at number five. After that it's manufacturing, then agriculture, forestry and fishing seventh, and professional, scientific and technical services rounding out the eight.
Multiple busses serve the town and region, plus it has a regional airport to support itself and northern neighbour Byron Shire. A bypass completed in 2012 makes local roads more efficient, and the university township of Lismore is only 30 minutes inland.
If you’re looking for a warm coastal lifestyle without such constant crowds, Ballina might just be for you.
