About Glen Innes
Glen Innes is a charming and attractive rural service centre set amidst rolling countryside on the Northern Tablelands 1075 metres above sea-level. The town is surrounded by impressive national parks and the district is known for its fishing, fossicking and bushwalking. (sourced from the Aussie Towns website – click for more).
Our arrival & check-in at the Glen Rest Tourist park in Glen Innes was so well organised by Helen & Bob, the park managers. We were met at the entrance, asked our names, and then “Fred” escorted us tour our site on his little motorised scooter.
What a lovely little caravan park (thanks to Colleen for selecting it). The usual happy hour was had in an old timber rotunda with a roaring fire going outside.
On the first day we strolled down the road for morning coffees at the “Super Strawberry“ Farm.

Mothers Day Dinner
It was mothers day and the male members of our group were volunteered by the women to cook dinner (this was organised a week earlier) and it was a simple decision by the guys – lets go out for dinner! So I arranged with our lovely park manager Helen to book in to the local RSL for dinner. She also arranged for a bus to pick us up and take 37 of us to the club. Bailey Roo also came along for the ride. A great meal was had by all and many thanks go the the team at the RSL who actually opened up for us (being a Sunday night) and even letting Bailey Roo have a flutter on the pokies.

Australian Standing Stones Park
Glen Innes is also renowned for it’s Celtic heritage and the Australian Standing Stones park pays tribute to the Celtic heritage of the early European settlers to the district. We visited this lovely park and had a bit of fun around the stones. Merrisa and Anne were trying to channel Claire Fraser from the Netflix series Outlander, trying to pass through the stones to visit “Jamie“.
