The Glen Innes Highlands is renowned for its unique rock formations, one of the most unusual is
Balancing Rock located next to the Stonehenge Recreational Ground. The gigantic boulder of granite rests on a 300 millimetre point amongst other rock formations. During autumn the beautiful poplar trees spread out behind the rock provide the perfect photo opportunity. Balancing Rock is on private property and is about 150 metres from the highway. It is not accessible to the public, but can be viewed from the rest area which is marked with a Balancing Rock sign.
Though Balancing Rock is on private property, just next door there are many interesting rock formations at the Stonehenge Recreational Reserve. Here travellers can picnic or just wander around the magnificent granite rocks. The autumnal colours spread as far as the eye can see at Stonehenge including the famous avenues of Stonehenge Station featuring historic Elm trees and Blairmore with its spectacular planting of Lombardy Poplar.
Travelling south from Glen Innes on the New England Highway start looking right when approximately 5 kilometres from Glen Innes.
