About Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a small rural locality on the Northern Tablelands of New England, New South Wales, situated approximately 8 kilometres south of Glen Innes along the New England Highway. Sitting at around 1,067 metres above sea level, the locality occupies a granite plateau at the northern edge of Beardy Waters, and falls within the Glen Innes Severn Council area. With a population of 136 residents across 53 dwellings, Stonehenge is a dispersed rural community set against wide pastoral and grazing country typical of the New England highlands.

The locality takes its name from the striking granite boulder formations scattered across the plateau, reminiscent of the ancient English monument — a feature that gives Stonehenge its distinct landscape character. A recreation reserve of around 32 hectares provides a community gathering point with a sports ground, shelter shed, and facilities. Residents are well-connected via the New England Highway, with the township of Glen Innes offering the nearest shops, services, and schools, while the broader Armidale region provides further amenities within a two-hour drive.

Stonehenge falls under postcode 2370 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
