Glen Innes



The weather has cooled off a lot!  Glen Innes has Australia's Standing Stones a purpose built group of rocks that show true north, south, east & west and the winter and summer soltice.  The stones are a direct link between Glen Innes and Scotland.  They have a lot of Scottish history and tradition - they call Glen Inne region the Celtic Country.
The weekend after we were there they were hosting the Beardies festival. It is a local celebration of spring and gets its name from two of their early pioneers who had long flowing beards and helped new settlers in the 1840's.
