That's great, the Grafton area is great and I would love to be able to stay there instead of passing through.

We stayed 4 days at the showground in December as we have family that live there, paid $20 a night thought that was reasonable and also spent a fair bit in the town whilst there, facilities are basic but tidy and all that was needed.

Well done Grafton. Hope Maclean follows suit. Grafton needs a bit of a lift after losing so many jobs recently. My hubby's family come from the mighty Clarence area.

A little article in our local paper shows our council is not as backward as I thought...in some matters anyway.
Looks like they might be trying to move on to the 20th century at last. I lived in Grafton for a couple of years, and it's certainly one of the beautiful parts of the country. BUT, it was also the most intolerant "okker" place I have ever lived, and that's saying something. Nevertheless, if you're ever in the area try to make it up the Old Grafton-Glen Innes road. Fantastic. and as a bonus there is free camping at Mann River near the other end of the road!
