Location Information:
The City of Grafton is surrounded by smaller towns Ulmarra, Nymboida and Copmanhurst, which offers a great range of services, facilities and attractions. A large number of people day trip into this area while holidaying at Grafton.
Some travellers break their journey from a more distant destination with an overnight stay in Grafton. Many spend much longer and take the opportunity to explore and absorb this very special region at their leisure.
Waterways are a major local feature and the mighty Clarence River dominates the landscape. It is born in the McPherson Ranges of southern Queensland and flows through moist gullies and deep valleys; beside soaring forests and rich farmland, before it surges into the Pacific Ocean at Yamba. The journey takes almost 400 kilometres and the lower reaches of the river are home to more than 100 charted islands.
Grafton is a City of tree lined streets and graceful old buildings, overlooking the Clarence River. The annual Jacaranda Festival sees the streets carpeted in mauve flowers with a matching canopy above. No description can do justice to this beauty each spring.
Bird Watching
The Clarence Valley offers some of the best bird watching opportunities in Australia.
