Eggbert's Travels

Thursday 17^th May

SHE SAID:

We had a drive up to Inverell to the north, & Glen Innes to the north east today.

We drove through Inverell late last year, but only stopped for fuel, so I wanted to have a better look around. It was about an hour away. We did the historic walking tour of the town & had morning tea. Then we headed east to Glen Innes, the "heartland" of the Celtic culture in the New England region. They have an annual Celtic Festival & have even erected the "Australian Standing Stones".

Yes, we did see them; Archie posed with them, & with us trying to pull out the "Australian" Excalibur sword!

Glen Innes seemed to be a busy little place, more so the Inverell, which appeared to have quite a few closed shops.

HE SAID:

Another pleasant day's drive and look around, though I was rather disappointed at Glen Innes, when we went to a pie shop in the main street and they were sold out of steak and kidney. It is hard enough to find them at all, so they are obviously fairly popular when they are available.
