The group spent 4 nights at the Ballina Beach Resort, which they absolutely loved . They spent 3 days travelling the countryside visiting the local sights and entertainments, including the gorgeous Grafton Jacaranda Festival.

🏝️ They visited Lennox Head, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Bangalow, Evans Head, Broadwater, New Italy and everywhere in between while enjoying ferry rides, walking the beach, a lighthouse tour and dining out. 🍽️
