Travelling in Ballina with a Car Hire

With a Ballina car hire you can relax and enjoy the vast expanses of the Richmond on a historic river cruise or explore the teeming wetlands of North Creek's upper reaches by canoe. Or go bush with a four-wheel-drive hire.

If your ideal holiday involved dropping a line, the fishing at Flat Rock and Angels Beach is legendary or perhaps head out to the reefs on a charter boat. Don't forget to ask the local about the annual migration of the humpbacks, a popular attraction for visitors to the area, which can be seen from many places including the lighthouse or Skennars Head.

Balling is conveniently located on a section of the NSW coast with loads of holiday towns and cities to visit all within a short drive. To the south you will find Evans Head and Yamba, and to the north is Byron Bay and Tweed Heads. Just a short distance further you can also cross the border into Queensland.
