Birdwatching
Long View is nestled in the Alstonville escarpment overlooking Ballina hinterland with a view to the Pacific Ocean.
Ballina Shire is an area of over 500 square kilometres and encompasses a great range of environments including wetlands and freshwater riverine systems, coastal and marine areas such as mangroves and salt marsh, paperbark swamps, grassland, sedge and heathlands, pockets of littoral rainforest and coastal vine thickets, wet and dry sclerophyll forest, and subtropical rainforest of the hinterland escarpments.

A Bird-watchers Guide and Checklist
It is not surprising that the shire is the home for a great variety of birds and Long View provides the perfect base for birdwatchers.
Use our check list to help identify the wide range of birds you can spot from the veranda or walking in our 60-acre bushland.
Travel further afield to explore all the shire environments. And don’t forget the slip/slop/slap ….and the binoculars.
