Maclean, Yamba & Angourie

---

In November of 2003, we drove down to spend time with friends in the north part of New South Wales near the small town of Maclean. It's lovely! Our friends had moved from Darwin in 2002 and have built a beautiful home in Gulmarrad near the Clarence River. Known as the gateway to the Australian sugar industry (cane fields everywhere!), Maclean is rich in Scottish heritage and personalized plaid painted poles are found everywhere.

At dusk and dawn we saw about 20-30 kangaroos (some with joeys in pouch) grazing and roaming throughout the neighbourhood. They were EVERYWHERE…crossing the road in front of us and out in the yards. What a sight to see!

We enjoyed dinner outside along the Clarence River where dolphins swam by freely. It was just fantastic! Of course we didn’t bring a camera to dinner... eh, what were we thinking?

You will see some beautiful pictures of Maclean, Yamba, Angourie and the Clarence River here: http://www.kookaburrablue.com/itchy-feet/Maclean.html

Enjoy!
