Grafton: South Grafton Aerodrome
The landscape around South Grafton Aerodrome is a broad, low-lying river plain beside the Clarence River, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The aerodrome lies at South Grafton, on the southern side of the river opposite Grafton, within New South Wales’s Northern Rivers district. Its open grassed grounds and hangars reflect the practical, low-density character of a regional aviation site. The Clarence is one of Australia’s largest east-coast river systems, and Grafton developed as a river port and service centre for its valley. Each year, the city’s Jacaranda Festival, established in 1935, continues a long-standing local tradition.

The Clarence River defines the setting of Grafton — its broad course through the Northern Rivers district has long supported a river-port town spread across low, leafy streets. Jacaranda trees are a signature of the cityscape, flowering in spring and celebrated during the annual Grafton Jacaranda Festival, founded in 1935. In the centre, Christ Church Cathedral provides a formal landmark in a town better known for its relaxed scale than high-rise development. Grafton is also an inland base for the Clarence Valley, where river settlements, farmland and forest meet.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
