As we made our way towards Uralla after stopping for the night at Bluff Rock, we passed through the country town of Glen Innes, high up on the New England Tableland of New South Wales. As soon as we entered the town, I noticed that there were a lot of beautiful old houses and buildings lining the streets, and I was intrigued to stop and have a walk around.

What I found was that Glen Innes is a historic town that has kept many of it’s old colonial buildings from the 1800’s, and it was really interesting to walk along it’s main street. If you are passing by while driving along the New England Highway, take a break and have a walk around, it’s an interesting town. Here are a few of my photos of Glen Innes’ old colonial buildings.
