Northen Tablelands of NSW - New England Region | ||

| The Northern Tablelands is a plateau and a region of the Great Dividing Range in northern New South Wales, Australia. It is the narrow highlands area of the New England region, stretching from the Moonbi Range in the south to the Queensland border in the north. This region includes substantial areas more than 800m above sea-level, with a cold climate, distinctive vegetation and a characteristic granite landscape.

Over thirty members and friends celebrated 30 years of the Armidale and District Group at Barbara and John Nevin’s on the occasion of the Solstice Function, 23rd of June 2007.
