This year, The Australian Hotel Ballina turns ONE HUNDRED. Yup, a full century of schooners poured, songs sung, mates made and big nights that maybe went a little longer than planned. And here’s the thing: this pub’s story isn’t ours. It’s yours.

So we’re calling on you, Ballina 📣 Somewhere out there are the photos, the videos, the “you had to be there” stories that make this place what it is. The wedding you kicked on at. The Sunday session that became legendary. Your nan’s shout in 1987. That photo of the front bar you’ve had tucked in a drawer for decades.

We want them ALL.

📸 Old photos of the Aussie over the years
🎥 Videos, big nights, questionable dance moves
📖 The stories, the characters, the moments that stuck

Drop them in the comments, slide into our DMs or shoot the team an email at [email protected] and help us celebrate 100 years of the Aussie! 🍻

Sorry Big Prawn, there’s a new drawcard in town 🦐🤠

Ballina’s fastest-growing line dancing night is back at the Aussie - and honestly, it might just be the town’s number one attraction now (no offence, big fella).

No experience? Couldn’t care less. We’ve got pro instructors to hype you up the whole way (thanks TK Line Dance!!!), a floor full of legends all having fun, and a very VERY good Saturday arvo waiting for you.

📅 Sat 26 September
🕒 3pm start

TRIVIA. 7PM. TODAY 🚨 Yes, today. Yes, we know it’s last minute. No, that is not an excuse.

Round up the group chat, drag your smartest mate off the couch. General knowledge, big bragging rights, and the kind of Wednesday night your week actually needed.

The only wrong answer is not turning up.

🧠 TRIVIA TONIGHT 7PM
💅 Drag trivia returning next Wednesday Sep 30th
