Ballina is on an island at the mouth of the Richmond River. It has a rich naval and maritime history and was an important settlement for cedar getters.
Today was a bright sunny day, although the wind is still strong and the temperature only reached 18 degrees. We explored north along the coast and spent some time at Lennox Head. Magnificent beaches were around every bend. Even the rivers inland were rough and the water dirty in the turbulent conditions.
7 Mile beach at Lennox Head had several keen surfers. The water looked cold and there were plenty of onlookers holding their boards.
Lake Ainsworth with its therapeutic tea tree infused water still did not convince us that a dip was worthwhile. Great spot for kayaking and sailing.
This is where Lennox Head gets its name. It is a
Mecca among surfers for its famous right hand break called Lennox Point, one of the top 10 surf breaks in Australia.
Ballina is centred on an island at the mouth of the Richmond River.
