We went to the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum twice over two days but found that it was closed for visitors. May be because of the Covid pandemic restrictions. We would definitely visit it again...

The range of models, and their exquisite detail, illustrates the development of ship types over the centuries. There's an emphasis on warships, and explanations that give context to the displays...

Absolutely magnificent!👍👍 Such a rich treasure of local history, lauding times and people upon whose shoulders we stand. More than interesting, it makes one stand silent a moment, actually long humble moments, that enable you to soak up our heritage in fabulous array and display. Highly recommend all to visit. I'll visit a second time, and I guess you will too.... 👍👍

A great museum preserving the maritime history of Ballina and the Richmond River as well as naval history from Australia and other nations. The Las Balsas raft is preserved here as well
