Starting around 1000 metres above sea level, New England High Country offers visitors a truly evocative and unique experience with four distinct seasons. Glen Innes, Armidale, Guyra, Inverell, Tenterfield, Uralla and Walcha share a rich history and stunning natural environment. Where else can you experience World Heritage wilderness in the morning and indulge in the sophistication of world class galleries, boutique shops and vineyards in the afternoon?

Ever wondered why the Glen Innes region is called ‘Celtic Country’? The early settlers in the area were mostly Scots. The first to settle here was a Cambridge-educated barrister from Selkirkshire named Archibald Boyd. In 1838 he established what is now known as Stonehenge Station.

Explore a rich and diverse range of fascinating stories

history & heritage They were two stockmen with long, flowing beards who roamed the vast, untamed plains of New England. The stockmen were John Duval and William Chandler. Today their names are perpetuated in the Glen Innes folk museum (one of Australia’s finest), the Land of the Beardies History House.

Duval and Chandler are deeply connected with the romance of old Glen Innes, for they guided Glen Innes’ first settler, Scottish barrister Archibald Boyd to the district. Cambridgeeducated Boyd migrated to NSW in 1838 and took up Boyd’s Plains, at the source of Beardy Waters, and two other NSW properties.

With Duval and Chandler, Archibald Boyd is remembered as part of Glen Innes’ rich history,

there’s St Joseph’s Convent on the site where Australia’s first saint, Mary MacKillop, signed the deeds for the original convent.

History is reflected in the district’s tranquil rural villages such as Deepwater and Emmaville, that inspired poets such as Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson. The many Scottish settlers who were part of Glen Innes’ proud heritage are immortalised in the Australian Standing Stones, that is the official national monument to all Australia’s Celtic pioneers.

Glen Innes is one of the few towns in NSW to retain its federation style buildings. a history reflected in the charming, colonial main street. Grey Street is lined with more than 50 Heritage listed buildings, including the beautiful stone courthouse, built before they hanged Ned Kelly.

Glen Innes Art Gallery The Chapel Theatre Glen Innes is fiercely proud of its Chapel Theatre. Rightly so. This is not just another small cog in some huge multi-national cinema chain. Not at all. Run entirely by volunteers, the Chapel Theatre serves as a model for true community-based cinemas and theatres across Australia. Originally built as a Methodist church in 1885, it was purchased in 1983 by the Glen Innes Arts Council Inc. (which, by the way, was formed in 1944 and is the oldest continuing Arts Council in NSW) and converted to a theatre.

Glen Innes Art Gallery sits in the heart of Glen Innes.

Established in 2005 the gallery offers changing exhibitions of contemporary art, across a range of mediums. Both local artists, and those from across the region exhibit frequently, showcasing a diverse mix of creative talent, in a modern and dedicated space.

Experience our vibrant and unique cultural landscape

arts & culture Glen Innes has a thriving arts scene.

The Glen Innes Arts Council, created in 1944, is the oldest continuously operating Arts Council in Australia. The Arts Council shows popular and art house films in the 122-year-old ex church that is now the Chapel Theatre. The space is often put to use for theatre productions, concerts and touring groups. The Arts Council’s own performances have included hits such as ‘Chicago’, ‘The Full Monty’ and ‘Nunsense’, invariably drawing packed audiences. You can see the Chapel Theatre on the corner of Bourke and Church Streets (the New England Highway).

Since 1996, Glen Innes has been home to Arts North West, the regional art board for the New England North West of NSW. Backed by the regional local governments and the state government through Arts NSW, Arts North West supports arts and culture across the whole region. Arts North West provides advice on funding and creative project management for communities to enable them to develop arts projects and cultural infrastructure.

A far-sighted initiative of Glen Severn Council, TAFE and the community, the Glen Innes Learning Centre provides 24 hour access for young and mature students to Armidale’s University of New England.

If you feel like exploring further afield take advantage of the Country Art Escape trail.

Journey into Australia’s romantic past...

scenic drives SCENIC DRIVE 11: The mining villages The drive takes you past the town’s landscaped parklands, spectacular in autumn, the Beardies History House and the hospital, across the now closed railway line, a part of the 1888 Great Northern Railway that was once the main freight line from Sydney to Brisbane.

Turn right at the sign to Emmaville and drive through a majestic avenue of poplars, the road leads out through prime New England pasture known for beef cattle, fine wool sheep and seasonal crops. Brown and dry during the notoriously cold frosty winters, these pastures burst vividly to life in spring. The drive crosses Reddestone Creek, home of the prized blue sapphires and the site of the discovery of tusks of a giant Diprotodon, now on display at the Emmaville Mining Museum.

The Emmaville to Torrington road is unsealed and weather dependent. It is advisable to check the condition before travelling, particularly if towing. Known locally as ‘the Zig Zag’, the road winds downhill past rocky outcrops, to arrive at Glen Creek. Continuing, you climb through the spectacular granite territory of the Torrington State Conservation Area. See the glistening rockface of Feathertop to the right.

Only a few kilometers from here is the entrance to Curnows Mine, which is open to the public for fossicking, and accessed by a short walk through the State Conservation Area gate. Dutchman’s Mine and lookout, Thunderbolt’s Lookout, the 16

camp site from where the notorious bushranger evaded police, and the enigmatic Mystery Face are a short drive further along.

Deepwater is home to a small but thriving community. Golf, fishing and the annual races attract locals and visitors alike. Continuing south from Deepwater is the historic locality of Dundee, home to prime sheep and grazing properties. Further south is the Heritage Park on the Beardy Waters, a great shady picnic spot, before continuing on to Glen Innes.

SCENIC DRIVE 2: The mountain villages Travelling south from Glen Innes, along the New England Highway, the drive passes through rolling countryside, and majestic stands of elm and poplar trees, aflame with colour in autumn.

The Stonehenge Recreation Reserve, is accessed through a stone gateway 12km south of Glen Innes. Wander through the acres of parkland

and explore the towering granite boulders that make it a popular spot to enjoy a picnic beneath the shady trees.

Balancing Rock is just 500m away. The giant boulder is spectacularly balanced on a point.

The picturesque village of Glencoe is 22km south of Glen Innes, and known for sheep and cattle farming. The Red Lion Tavern is an atmospheric old English style pub, a perfect stop for lunch and refreshments.

Continuing south, wind high into the Ben Lomond range to 1500m. The village of Ben Lomond, the top of the Great Dividing Range, was once a thriving town on the Great

Northern Railway. The station c.1844 was the highest on the National Line. The Brothers Mountains rise in the east, and to the north west lies Mt Rumbee. Choose one of two routes to travel back to Glen Innes. Enjoy panoramic views and wind along the top of the range on an unsealed road via Maybole and Grahams valley. Alternatively travel back via the NE Highway. There is the option to divert into Little Llangothlin Nature Reserve, a 120 hectare fresh water lagoon, home to over 100 bird species including migratory waterfowl, nomadic pelicans and sea eagles.

The Emmaville Sheep Races in March showcase the good natured humour you’d expect from a country town and is another ‘must-see’ event.

Who knows what you might find...

fossicking Ever since sapphires were discovered in the creek gullies west of Glen Innes, professional and amateur fossickers have been drawn to the area in search of the famous deep blue stones.

The area surrounding Glen Innes is part of the most prolific sapphire region in New South Wales, and has the world’s richest mineral diversity belt. The region is internationally renowned for deep rich, royal blue sapphires.

As well as sapphires, try your luck at unearthing topaz, quartz crystals, gold, zircons, aquamarine, fluorite, beryl, emeralds (just to name a few).

You don’t need much equipment to go fossicking. Basic gear includes a sieve, a miner’s pick, a scratching blade, shovel and bucket. You can bring your own gear, hire some in town, or book a trip with a local guide to try your luck.

Most of the stones are found in a layer of earth called the wash, which sits between the clay bed and the subsoil. Culverts created by creeks expose the layers of earth, making it easy and fun to dig into the wash.

The area is a recreation area complete with picnic areas, barbecues, a footy pitch, washrooms and water.

For a list of more information on the climbing routes visit: thecrag.com/c/stonehenge

The rock around Glen Innes is typical New England granite with lots of crimps, flakes and friction.
