JACARANDA Festival season has officially been launched with the crowning of the clocktower early this morning.
Early risers watched on as the crane parked across the Prince Street roundabout and carefully lowered the crown in place.
The sculpture, which measures 2.4 x 3 metres, was then bolted to the tower, making this the 41st time it has adorned Grafton's historic clocktower.
The event was later posted on the Jacaranda Festival Facebook page.
