About Inverell
Inverell sits on the New England tablelands, about 600 kilometres north of Sydney and 70 kilometres west of Glen Innes. This country town of around 12,000 people is famous for its sapphire deposits and pleasant highland climate. The surrounding countryside offers a mix of farming and fossicking that defines the local character.
Life here moves at a country pace, with a main street that serves the farming community and weekenders seeking gemstones. The climate is notably milder than surrounding lowlands, making it a pleasant escape from summer heat. Retirees and families seeking affordable regional living appreciate the town's practical facilities and genuine country atmosphere. The sapphire industry adds an unexpected sparkle to everyday life.
Inverell falls under postcode 2360 and is governed by Inverell Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
