At the mouth of the Richmond River on the far north coast of New South Wales, Ballina (AU BNK) is a river and fishing port with little commercial freight role. Water depth of about 3.4 metres and a shifting sandbar at the entrance limit it to fishing boats, recreational craft and occasional small loads – there is no container, customs or bulk traffic here. For commercial sea freight, the Port of Brisbane roughly 190 km north is the relevant gateway, with Newcastle a further option to the south.
