The Clarence River provides the lifeblood of this picturesque region, connecting the regional centre of Grafton with the historic township of Maclean and the stunning seaside towns of Iluka and Yamba. Grafton is a commercial and professional hub in Northern NSW and is one of the state’s most dynamic and fastest growing regions. Situated just three hours south of the Gold Coast, two hours south of Byron Bay and one hour north of Coffs Harbour the Clarence Valley is not far from anywhere! From Grafton to any beach on our coast is a short 45-minute drive.
