Ballina - coasters (1)Ballina - coasters (2)PLACE REPRESENTED: Ballina , New South Wales, Australia

ITEM: Coasters

NOTES: Ballina on the NSW North Coast is a small, urbanised, seaside town, hence the, perhaps, unspectacular pictures on the coasters.

I note the bikini swimmer on two of the coasters seems to be the same girl, albeit in different bikinis. Must have been the photographers girlfriend? I think I saw her the last time I was in Ballina.

Most people head off to the beaches of nearby Lennox Heads or Byron Bay.

  1. I have made the pilgrimage to the Big Prawn, with the compulsory climb up the stairs to the Prawn Head and a look at the highway through its eyeball. Fond memories

    • You know, I’ve been to Ballina a few times and I don’t think I’ve even seen the Big Prawn. I knew about the Big Prawn but I certainly haven’t been inside the Big Prawn or looked out through it’s eyeball. I didn’t know you had been to Ballina. This isn’t a sexual thing is it?
