The Clarence Valley Independent would like to graciously acknowledge the hard-working volunteers of the Clarence River Historical Society (CRHS) for their kind assistance and support during the production of our Grafton Jacaranda Festival 90 Year Anniversary feature.

Thank you for allowing Grafton journalist Emma Pritchard to spend countless hours accessing, browsing, and researching historical articles, documents, archives, and photos, which has enabled us to create this colourful and factual contribution as we celebrate a significant milestone within our local community.

The Clarence Valley Independent would also like to acknowledge local businesses, organisations, and community members for generously supporting the publication of this special feature.

Thank you to Mark Blackadder, Manager of the Grafton Jacaranda Festival, and the Jacaranda Festival Committee for their support, and congratulations on the 90th Anniversary of the oldest (and best) floral festival in Australia.
