Grafton to Inverell via Glen Innes along the Gwydir Highway We were up, packed and ready for breakfast by about 8.00 a.m. Terry again provided us with a delicious breakfast - the same fare as the day before - and we again shared it with our cute green frog. We then chatted to the other guests and promised that we would be back to share this beautiful part of the country, and especially the fanta... Read Full Entry

I'm married to Steve and have one daughter, Sascha, who is 28 and is married to Brad, and Tim, 29, is my stepson and Amy, 26, is my stepdaughter. We live in Brisbane and I am a Court Reporter. I lived in Wellington, New Zealand when I was 17 for 18 months and Canberra for six years, where Sascha was born. We love travelling and have been cruising around the islands of Hawaii and Fanning Island, Kiribati and stayed at Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands twice. Our next trip is self-drive around Italy for two weeks and 15 days cruise the Rhine and the Danube from Budapest to Amsterdam... full info

Main Street of Inverell

Inverell - another clean and tidy town. After we had settled in to our motel we went for a walk through the town but the rain bucketed down within about 10 minutes of leaving our room!

Heritage Architecture

A beautiful heritage building in Inverell.

Copeton Dam

We drove to the Copeton Dam just outside Inverell but it was very low - only 12% full.

Another View of the Dam

We spoke to the girl at the kiosk and she told us that the area is in terrible drought, as you can see by the dirt, and yet Grafton had been so green.

A Cute Furry Friend

This little calf was very friendly and so cute that I could have taken him home for Sascha!

He was Very Cute

He wasn't at all afraid of us and was only about six feet from us when I took the photo.

Another Shot of Copeton Dam

The water level should have been almost up to where we were, so you can see how low the dam levels were.

Inverell City Centre

The streets were quite pretty, with flower beds and lovely trees to greet you.

Inverell Town Hall

The Town Hall was quite an impressive building.

The Pink Courthouse

A better view of the Courthouse - all the buildings were very well preserved. Inverell is a very pretty township.

St Andrews Church

This church was across the road from our motel. Another fine example of the architecture of Inverell.

A River Runs Through It ....

This creek was manmade and ran through the gardens of the Inverell Tourist Centre

Inverell Tourist Centre

The gardens of the tourist centre were very picturesque. The rain was coming down quite heavily but that didn't stop us enjoying the beauty of the place.
