Subscriber only After shutting its Ballina factory last year and putting more than 30 people out of work, Thursday Plantation is about to cut its final ties with the Northern Rivers. The property on Gallans Rd is now up for sale, marking the end of an era for this iconic local company. It was founded in the 1970s by Eric White. He was fascinated by the antibacterial power of tea tree oil, and decided to establish a plantation in Ballina.
