Joanne's place was the perfect location for our Northern Rivers adventure. The space was very cute, with a deck that overlooked the gorgeous rolling hills and the wallabies that would graze on the grass. Less than 10 minutes into Lismore for coffee, and a great base for exploring nearby Ballina, Rocky Creek Dam, The Channon, Nightcap National Park, Bangalow and Lennox Head. It was ideal. Even on rainy days, we curled up with a book and listened to the frogs and the birds and the pitter patter of rain. Just gorgeous.
