Yard Person, Timber Industry – Clarence Valley, NSW
Established in 1952, our client has been supplying high-quality Australian hardwood from their Grafton-based mill for over 65 years. They offer structural timber, timber flooring, parquetry, decking, wall cladding and native hardwood products, all sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Why The Clarence Valley?
The valley's main town, historic Grafton (founded 1851) sits on the banks of the Clarence River, Australia's largest east‑coast river system. It's a lush landscape for 1,700 jacaranda trees along broad avenues, inspiring the country's oldest floral fete, the Jacaranda Festival, held each year in late October/early November.
