If you like adventure, head down the Gwydir Highway and visit our amazing World Heritage Wilderness region of Gibraltor Range and Washpool National Park. There are a multitude of walks of varying degrees of difficulty. Plan a family picnic before you head to one of the scenic waterfalls or try the Coombadjha nature stroll, perfect for all ages and experience. With our distinct cold climate and unique flora and fauna, feel the recharging benefits of the bush when you get back to nature and breathe in the fresh air of the Highlands.

Nothing quite like the warmth of a clear sky through the car window when you explore the many country drives on offer in Glen Innes' local area. Take the Emmaville Road from Glen Innes to Emmaville through the stark poplars and prime New England farmland. You will cross over bridges, creeks and rivers that offer great fishing and fossicking experiences. Once you arrive in Emmaville, head to the lovingly restored Emmaville Court House. Built in 1920 to replace the previous building which was destroyed by fire in 1913. It was once the hub of our mining town and now a place to explore, learn, reminisce and enjoy. Phone 0498856648 for access to the building. Next stop is the Emmaville Mining Museum, a wonderful place for the family to go back in time at the Old Foleys store. They have a vast collection of gemstones, fossils, military memorabilia and of course, you get to learn the story of the infamous ‘Emmaville Black Panther’.
