Arts, culture and heritage in Glen Innes

This charming rural town has parks, autumn colours, stately heritage-listed buildings, arts and craft shops as well as collectables shops. Set in the most prolific sapphire region in Country NSW, Glen Innes is also the site of the Australian Standing Stones.

About Glenn Innes and Inverell

The first settlers in this region were mostly Scots, and today Glen Innes cherishes its Celtic origins. Locals built the Australian Standing Stones, a megalithic stone circle, as a monument to these pioneers.

The colonial-style towns in the area have many heritage buildings and museums, and there are rich gemfields at Inverell, Warialda and Bingara. Tenterfield is the birthplace of singer Peter Allen, who immortalised the town in his song, "Tenterfield Saddler".

The natural scenery is nothing short of grand – Washpool National Park is the largest rainforest wilderness in NSW, and the Gibraltar Range has spectacular granite outcrops.
