Tamworth to Glen Innes road trip: Distance, drive time & stops
Into Glen Innes
As you get close to Glen Innes, you’ll go past the Balancing Rock. As the name suggests, this is a big granite boulder teetering on what looks like an impossibly small pointed end.
There are more big granite rocks in the neighbouring Stonehenge Recreation Reserve.
Things to do in Glen Innes include seeing the peculiar Australian Standing Stones Monument and tackling the tough Tommy’s Rock Walking Track in the Mann River Nature Reserve.
Glen Innes accommodation
Glen Innes accommodation options are basically various iterations on the motel. The New England Motor Lodge is the strongest contender, here – it has the most central location and a surprisingly sprawling pool. The Clansman Motel on the New England Highway also has good reviews. Meanwhile the Great Central Hotel does cheap but decent rooms above a pub.
