A day out to Ulmarra and Maclean

The other day we drove to Grafton via the westbank of the Clarence River through Tullymorgan and Lawrence rather than go via the Pacific Hwy. We came back via the Pacific Hwy to have lunch in the old historic riverport town of Ulmarra at the old Commercial Hotel and then went on to have a look around Maclean. We highly recommend the food at the hotel. Not far from the hotel is a park alongside the riverbank with a noticeboard full of great old photos of the town. There's one of them building the Pacific Hwy back in 1934 and the year the town was swamped by a flood.

I hope you enjoy seeing some photos of our day out in the attached slideshow (I'm trying out something new).
