Escape to the Highlands

At 1,062m above sea level, Glen Innes is the highest large town (population over 2,500) in Australia, with nearby hills rising to 1,512m at Ben Lomond.

This makes for a perpetually changing landscape, with no humidity, hot summer days a rarity, and occasional snowfall. With distinct seasonal changes, the Glen Innes Highlands climate offers a unique experience no matter the time of year.
