Inverell is nestled in a picturesque valley beside the Macintyre River of NSW. A sizable, manicured town with lots to see and do (and eat!), it’s perfect for history-buffs, outdoors enthusiasts, a shopping trip or just a cute weekend away.
The beautiful heritage-fronted shopping streets offer boutique shopping, art galleries and excellent coffee stops. Local Sunday markets are worth a look, and foodies should stop in at Evergrow Farm for woodfired sourdough pizza and local produce, or taste some cracking drops at Toppers Mountain Wines.
Explore the region’s rich history at Inverell Pioneer Village or wander through the vast collection of vintage vehicles at the National Transport Museum. The Victa Mower Museum is a well-kept secret worth investigating, or just drive by the Vegemite House! For a real time-travelling experience, settle in for home-made Devonshire tea at the Wing Hing Long Museum.
For those looking to get outdoors, it’s a beautiful region to explore. The title of “Sapphire City” is well-earned, and visitors can try their hand at fossicking for gemstones and diamonds, with equipment rental through the tourist information centre. Copeton Dam offers excellent fishing and boating – and a great splashpark for the kids – or throw a line in the Macintyre for Murray Cod. Join a kayak tour from Lake Inverell, hike to waterfalls in the nearby National Parks or simply meander the extensive cycling and walking paths along the rolling lawns of the riverbank.
Join the many travellers that are pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem of a town. Stop in for a visit and expect to extend your stay or book in a return trip – Inverell really is a gorgeous town worth spending some time in.
