17th - Purple Ra... Purple Trees!

I started of the day by taking a walk in Coffs Harbour and ended by the harbor and had a decent fish & chips. Not bad at all.

I left for Crafton via Red Rock. Apparently Red Rock got its name due to the intense red color in the earth in the area, something the aboriginals used to their advantage when needing the red color for their paintings.

The red rock was particularly visible down at the beach

There isn’t much to say about Grafton; it’s small town split by a river and 150 years old. Plenty of houses, a few stores and that was pretty much it. The southern part seems to be older and looks more miskept than the northern part. Spread out in the town were some beautiful trees that where blooming purple.

The purple trees lightened up the town

Not a single cloud on the sky today. Nice and warm with a cool breeze from the ocean.
