Alstonville, a rapidly growing town is located on the Bruxner Highway between Ballina and Lismore. The town is nestled in lush surroundings at the top of the Ballina Cutting, giving a significant amount of the town excellent easterly views towards the coast and the Richmond River. Of interest in the area are Lumley Park, Ann Brown Park (rainforest gardens) and the Summerland House (nursery & crafts - 3km south) - the town centre is quite small considering the surrounding population however its commercial interests are essentially linked with Lismore and Ballina due to their close proximity.
