Security & SafetyLennox Head is one of the friendliest, safest places in Australia. However, crime exists even in Paradise, and you should be alert in particular to opportunistic crime and take sensible steps to avoid becoming a target.To assist with the safekeeping of your valuables please fol-low these security tips:

• Please ensure your apartment is locked whenever you go out, and do not leave any valuables lying about in your apartment. Do not leave your personal belongings out on your balcony overnight.

• Each unit entry door is fitted with a security latch – please engage this for added security whilst you are inside the apartment.

• Please ensure that you lock your vehicle and do not leave any valuables in your car.

• If you have any security concerns during your stay please notify Reception.• Access to foyer doors is by key only. Please ensure that the foyer door is securely locked behind you

IN CASE OF ANEMERGENCY


1. Should you see smoke, flames, or smell burning – • Notify management immediately (dial 9 to contact Reception) • Indicate your unit number • Advise the location and nature of the inci dent

Should the fire alarm sound you will be contacted by Reception via the PA system with further instructions. In the event of a fire, you will be instructed to proceed to the fire assembly area.

2. Break glass on red fire alarm panel in foyer for Fire Service – this will activate the fire alarm. (A fine of $250 applies for misuse together with termination of your letting and no refund for time unused.)

3. Should you leave your unit, close windows and doors to restrict the spread of fire. Take your unit key with you.

4. Notify guests in the adjacent unit if safe to do so.

5. Follow the signs to the emergency exits – the main foyer entrances. • Evacuate the building in an orderly manner using the main lobby stairs, (if safe to do so) which will take you clear of the building. • If the electricity supply has been disabled the security gates in the car park will not open & you will not be able to exit this way. • Do not panic.

• Do not leave fire escape doors open. • Do not carry any items in the fire escape. Personal safety is more important than personal belongings.

6. Assemble in the Medical Centre car park next to the resort entrance. • Report any missing persons to the manage ment at the Assembly Point. • Staff to supply a guest list to the Fire Brigade. • Do not return to the building until it is declared safe. • Keep well clear of the area to allow the fire service and other emergency services to operate freely.

7. If the corridors are full of smoke and not usable: • Stay in the unit. • Show yourself at the window. • Await the fire service.

8. Fire fighting equipment is located in the car parks.

9. Every unit is fitted with both a smoke and heat detector. Our fire system can track the zone where the alarm was activated – the unit which activated the alarm will have a small red light glowing on the foyer ceiling, just outside the unit. Smoke alarms in particular may be activated by smoke from cooking.

SURF SPOTS

Drive towards Lennox Head lookout, park atop, follow the trail and cruise down (just watch out for spiky vegetation). Getting in and out here can be a challenge, as polished, small slippery rocks lead the way. But when the groundswell from S-SE comes in, winds are absent or W-NW the ride is great. Chill in the lineup, enjoy the serenity and amazing backdrop.

A world class right point that can barrel and have you surfing FAST for over 300m. Best conditions are a cyclone swell or decent ground swell but Lennox can break on any swell over 2ft. Best on SW to SE winds. For experienced surfers only.

LENNOX POINT

Lennox Reef is a flat, submerged boulders reef off the southern corner of Lennox beach, just in from the famous Lennox Point. Due to the water depth, it is best surfed at higher tide as the rocks do tend to come to the surface on low and make paddling and duck diving dangerous.

When the offshore wind is blowing the peaks out here can be really fun and the crowd factor is usually low. The paddle is quite long from the beach (maybe 150 - 200m) but is flat water until you get to the reef it self about 100m off shore. Best in a small to medium swell.

LENNOX REEF

Just south of Lennox Point, Boulders (named after the basalt rocks that have eroded to form the beach) is suited to the experienced surfer. Boulder Beach has been referred to as the backside of Lennox Point. Boulder’s is a step up from Flat Rock (see below)- it can hold reasonably big swell and, with its rocky shore and tricky entry points, is not a place for the novice surfer.

BOULDERS BEACH

Flat Rock is a long flat rock platform in front of a popular camping ground. Easy to find as it is well sign posted and just off the coast road south of Ballina.The wave can get really good but is usually a slowish right hander that tends to section.Waves are fun and well suited to intermediates and beginners. The rock platform provides good protection from SE wind so a sneaky afternoon session can be had when everywhere else is blown out.

FLAT ROCK

Easy to find, follow the East Ballina signs and then go towards the river. North Wall is the north side of the man made break wall where the river meets the sea. There is a road to the break and a car park. When every where is 2ft North Wall is 4ft! A swell magnet of a place. On its day it is a serious take off and fast down the line wave that often meets with a closeout near the beach. Best left to experienced surfers once it is over 3ft.Great spot to check when the wind goes to the SE too, as the break wall offers protection in the onshore wind.

Some people have lost their lives fishing from these rocks and others have been known to rope themselves to a metal pole thoughtfully driven into the rocks as a safety measure for anchoring anglers when a freak wave breaks across the exposed rock ledge.In the right conditions, boats can be launched from the southern end of Seven Mile Beach through a break in the reef known as ‘The Moat’. With a boat it is possible to go outside and fish the pinnacle reef located just off the Point.
