From our travel diary.
Reg and I arrived at Ballina Beach Holiday Park. The first thing that struck us was how friendly the management was. This was consistent with the earlier friendly email communication we had had with them.

We have set up our caravan in the wilderness area, where there is a large area of green lawn.  I spent the afternoon in the shade of a hut working at my computer. Reg set up the awning and shade cover on the Eco-Tourer caravan, I took lots of photos of Reg at work, pretended that that was work,  and enjoying seeing Reg happy and fit enough to be doing a great job of the set up.

After relaxing and enjoying lunch, then afternoon tea outside the van, we went for a walk though the grounds of the park. The twin swimming pools impressed me. Then we went to the beach, a short walk from the reception kiosk. I had my jog along the spotless clean sand.  Reg stood watching the anglers, surf fishing and he was impressed at the obvious success they were having.

There is entertainment and meals here from Friday night and over the weekend, it sounds great. A band one night and fire show another evening. I think we will have so much to do and see here. Tomorrow we will look at the dogs off the leash beach near here and there are dogs off the leash trails to investigate.

I plan to go into Ballina to shop tomorrow and return on the ferry. 
I love everything I have seen. A perfect start to the week we will be spending here at south Ballina Beach, staying at Ballina Beach Holiday Park.
