WHAT A WEEKEND šŸ¤  Ballina, you did it again. More boots, more legends, more big vibes than ever, the floor was packed and honestly, watching this one grow every single month has been super special.

Huge thanks to for showing us the moves and keeping us on the beat, and The Lee Brothers for keeping the good times rolling long after the dancing wrapped up. Absolute legends šŸŽø

But the real thank you goes to YOU! Every single one of you who rocks up, kicks in, gives it a red-hot go and makes this the best afternoon in town. We couldn't do it without you, and we're not planning to stop anytime soon.

Rest those boots... you'll need 'em.

SEE YOU NEXT:

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 hereā€™s the thing: this pubā€™s story isnā€™t ours. Itā€™s yours.

So weā€™re calling on you, Ballina šŸ“£ Somewhere out there are the photos, the videos, the ā€œyou had to be thereā€ stories that make this place what it is. The wedding you kicked on at. The Sunday session that became legendary. Your nanā€™s shout in 1987. That photo of the front bar youā€™ve had tucked in a drawer for decades.

We want them ALL.

šŸ“ø Old photos of the Aussie over the years
šŸŽ„ Videos, big nights, questionable dance moves
šŸ“– 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! šŸ»

Sorry Big Prawn, thereā€™s a new drawcard in town šŸ¦šŸ¤ 

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

No experience? Couldnā€™t care less. Weā€™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.

TRIVIA. 7PM. TODAY šŸšØ Yes, today. Yes, we know itā€™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.
