Day 10 Wednesday 17/6/2026, Grafton, 23

Woody walks into town while I have a sleep in. Later in the morning we walk around town and I get a chance to photograph some of the attractive homes that he has found. On our visits last year I was recording the public buildings, this time it’s a chance to focus on the houses. It seems that every house in Grafton is different and of course street after street is lined with jacarandas. Grafton is proud of its annual Jacaranda Festival.

In town we grab a couple of banh mi for lunch and munch them in the park.

Back at camp, there’s a large tree beside us that the plant apps seem to think is a native plum. Plum or not, I wish it would stop dropping fruit on our roof. As I sit here sketching in the quiet of the evening water suddenly drops on the roof, I now realise that it’s not the tree dropping the fruit but possums, and we’ve just been peed on.
