At 1072 metres above sea level, Glen Innes is the highest, large town in Australia (population over 2,500), with nearby hills rising to 1500 metres at Ben Lomond and Deepwater. 

This makes for a perpetually changing landscape, no humidity, rarity of hot summer days and the occasional snow fall. 

With distinct seasonal changes the Glen Innes Highlands climate offers a unique experience no matter the time of year.
