#PDHPETA24 - Exploring the Region

A warm Bundjalung welcome to Ballina, the perfect place to unwind after the 2024 PDHPE Teachers Association conference!

Ditch the lesson plans and swap your whiteboard markers for a surfboard! Catch a wave at world-renowned Lennox Head, just a short drive away, or mellow out on the golden sands of Lighthouse Beach in Ballina itself. For something different, explore the rockpools and shoreline beauty of Shaws Bay, or try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding in the calm waters. Feeling adventurous? Head to secluded Angels Beach and Flat Rock for a taste of paradise, but remember, these are unpatrolled beaches, so swim with caution.

Beyond the beach, Ballina's hinterland beckons! Hike through World Heritage-listed rainforest, kayak on tranquil waterways, or chase waterfalls. Minyon Falls, the tallest cascading waterfall in NSW, is an awe-inspiring sight.
