Walk with history and gaze upon over 60 magnificent heritage buildings in the township of Glen Innes, like the basalt stone courthouse built in 1873… a year after the Adelaide-Darwin Overland Telegraph was completed and seven years before the first Edison-Bell telephone was installed in Sydney. Or the School of Arts building and impressively ornate Kwong Sing and Co department store, both built no more than six years after the hanging of Ned Kelly. Other buildings were going up as NSW bushmen volunteered for the Boer War, Australia planned and then united in a Commonwealth. Several buildings were completed in 1914 when our youth went off to World War 1, in the roaring twenties when they frenetically celebrated peace and in the 1930’s as we weathered the Great Depression.
