Explore the fascinating mining and mountain villages of Glen Innes Highlands and be transported back in time when you take a self-guided driving tour of the countryside.
The three mining villages of Emmaville, Torrington and Deepwater have richly contrasting landscapes immersed in the history of the mining boom days.
Tour Drive 11 is a 140km round-trip that traverses rolling New England pastures, majestic trees, and the mining country of the area’s famous Reddestone sapphires.
Tour Drive 2 takes you on a journey through the mountain village of Glencoe to Ben Lomond.
This route is particularly popular during autumn, as the tree-lined roads are ablaze with seasonal colour.
Explore the towering granite boulders and parklands at Stonehenge Recreation Park and ponder gravity as you view the famous Balancing Rock.
