Inverell is situated on the Macintyre River in the centre of the New England Tablelands. It is 590 metres above sea level, 689 kilometres by road from
Sydney, 437 kilometres from Brisbane and only a short drive to the popular mid
and northern coastline of Australia. The town is situated on the Gwydir Highway
which connects Western New South Wales with the Eastern seaboard. The Shire of Inverell covers an area of 8,623 square kilometres of rich farm and grazing land, including large mineral deposits, particularly tin and sapphires. The Northern Tablelands are blessed with superb weather conditions, cool nights and long sunny days. Inverell has a population of 10,000 people while the commercial centre services a target area estimated to reach 60,000 people, drawing from as far away as Southern Queensland. The Inverell district holds a fascination of its own - from the splendour of rural scenery to the glint of a sapphire picked from a muddy wash.
