What to see and do in the Ballina Region


Amaze 'n' Place Amaze 'n' Place

Amaze ‘n’ Place is a fascinating tourist destination on the Alstonville Plateau, 15 minutes from Ballina and the home of the Living Lattice Labyrinth.

At Amaze ‘n’ Place there’s something for everyone:

  • a uniquely beautiful maze
  • free puzzle-play
  • a puzzling gift shop
  • a stylish café offering superb local coffee, homemade cakes, and tasty light lunches.

Families will have fun in the maze, finding the tower and playing the Seekers Quiz Game – or the kids can experience the maze, leaving their ‘boring’ parents to sip a latte on the shady verandah. Amaze ‘n’ Place is open 7 days per week (excluding Xmas Day & Boxing Day) from 10am-5pm.

David Lane Studio Gallery

David Lane Studio Gallery David Lane is an established, well-known regional artist whose paintings are represented in public and private collections throughout Australia and overseas. His home and studio are at 31 Fernleigh Road, Tintenbar in Northern New South Wales just 10 minutes North of Ballina, 20 minutes from Byron Bay.

David Lane’s 2009 exhibition is an exciting contrast of colour and light with subjects ranging from the harsh beauty of the Northern Territory and Central Australia to his more subdued local wetlands and seascapes. Each year David further develops his Artist’s eye bringing a shifting focus to the shadows and form of his subjects. David’s other love is his garden and visitors to his exhibition are also in for a treat in his small piece of paradise at Tintenbar.

David’s 2009 Painting Exhibition opens on Saturday 5 December at 10am. The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 6pm until 20 December.

 

When: Opening 10am December 5. Exhibition runs December 5 to December 20
