Australian Standing Stones

Reviewed By Macca1719 - Brisbane, Australia

Concur with Colin that the local community deserves a big wrap for developing such a unique attraction. The standing stones are really well explained in brochures from the tourist bureau and on site. The history of the Celts in the area makes interesting Reading and the olde-style cafe fits in perfectly with the site. There's also some nice views over the farms and town at the top of the hill if you have the energy to walk a couple of hundred metres to the lookout.

The Super Strawberry

Reviewed By jandp768 - Bendigo, Australia

A nice place to stop for a coffee and scones with very yummy strawberry jam. We had cards that we got at the tourist information centre for free coffees so that was a nice added bonus. Coffee was a bit cold but couldn't complain. Some...MoreSorry the coffee was cold!! You could have asked and it would have been replaced - every one likes their coffee a different temperature so it is never a problem to remake them! Thank you for your kind review!

We spent a couple of hours in the museum as their displays were excellent. Housed in the old hospital the museum captures the history of Glen Innes very well. From early settlers, to machinery, buggies, hospital items, early schooling, photographic developments to early every day items. There is something for everyone. We really enjoyed the display. The volunteer at the door was friendly giving us a plan of the museum layout as well as inviting us to have some afternoon tea at the end of our visit. True country hospitality.

We were having a day out, it was suggested that we go to this Art Gallery. Met the lovely people who run the gallery and the cafe. Caught up with a person who we have not seen. Walked around the gallery which was outstanding. Had morning tea which was just as impressive. Local artists works on display and some for sale. Thanks guys thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Will come back again.
