Destination Glen Innes

The land of four seasons & of breathtaking beauty. Some visitors are surprised to see photos of the New England region under a dusting of snow. It’s not a common sight, but snow does fall.

Much of the area known as New England is on the spine of the Great Dividing Range that stretches from the Grampians in Western Victorian right up to Cape York, a distance of 3,500kms.

Glen Innes sits at an altitude of 1,062m – about half the height of Mount Kosciuszko. It’s lower than Thredbo and Perisher Valley, but higher than Jindabyne and Cooma in Australia’s southern snowfields. The altitude gives our region four distinct seasons. Summer nights are generally mild, autumn sunsets are aflame with reds and golds, winters deliciously crisp and springs a flurry of growth.
