The Junction Inn: A Ruined Relic of the Coach Days

Standing quietly beside the Gwydir Highway near Glen Innes NSW, the weathered ruins of the Junction Inn have witnessed nearly 150 years of history. Once a bustling stop for stagecoaches, drovers and travellers crossing the Great Dividing Range, this humble inn became the backdrop to stories of a bushranger, miners, family triumphs, heartbreaking loss and the changing face of rural Australia. Join me as we uncover the remarkable history of one of New South Wales' forgotten roadside inns, and the family whose lives became forever entwined with it.
