[edit] Town name
Ballina, according to all reports I've ever seen, was named after an Aboriginal word, bullinah (or something close to it) and was changed to Ballina. Its resemblance to the Irish town is a coincidence. I'll research this one and make any changes accordingly. Peter1968 02:36, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Prawn greeting
I've just removed this quote from the article "and a common greeting in ballina is "hail the prawn" this can be very confusing for turists . " An amusing piece of vandalism (unless of course there is a source!). Blarneytherinosaur talk 12:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
