Is it an alien artefact ? A remnant of an ancient civilisation ? No, it's art Jim. It is a shiny steel monolith, stamped with words that attempt to conjure the better parts of human nature, tokens of the continuing search for passion, and bubbles that represent the effort to succeed in life. A machine for inspiration. The sculpture is the work of George Town artists Mark Hoban, Bruno Barcodi and the late PeterHjort.

The award-winning International Rose Garden takes visitors on a heady journey that's a delight to the senses. As you wander around the garden you're drawn through a series of colourful, fragrant spaces, each cleverly revealing a rose collection from a different style of garden. The overall structure and geometry includes a sunken garden, a circular garden and several pergolas, in perfect visual counterpoint to the adjacent glass conservatory. The garden displays over 2,700 roses and more than 350 rose cultivars, while mixed companion plantings add lots of vivid seasonal colour. There are areas devoted to Australian bred roses, single roses, heritage roses and pillar roses and much more. As you saunter under a tunnel of climbing rose arches, you will find a beautiful display of roses selected for specific Australian causes (e.g. the Leukaemia Foundation). The garden is also home to the National Rose Trial Garden, which tests roses not yet commercially available in Australia. In October 2022, the World Federation of Rose Societies gave it an Award of Garden Excellence, a title enjoyed by just four other gardens in Australia. View it at its best in October-November when the first flush of the season is in full bloom, and again in April for the autumn flush. Visit any time throughout summer and you will be treated to a beautiful experience too.

The Bicentennial memorial illustrates the community spirit of the individuals and organisations who volunteered their time, technical skills, labour and much of the material to create a permanent memorial depicting the history and progressive development of the Inverell district prior to 1988. It features three courtyards, each containing 14 sculptured bas-relief panels, with a central connecting courtyard. Courtyard One depicts pre-1788 when the Inverell District was home to the Anaiwan, Bigambul, Jukambal, Kwiambal and Weraerai First Nations people. Courtyard Two spans 1788-1888, the first century of white occupation in Australia, and the settlement and development of the Inverell District. Courtyard Three depicts the social and technological changes that occurred from 1888 to 1988, including the use of the district's resources and the growth of the town. A tile mosaic map depicting Alan Cunningham's travels through the area is at the Bicentennial Memorial's centre. The bas-relief plaques are arranged in pairs in the form of open books, which are intended to be viewed in progression from the pre 1788 courtyard to create the impression of a walk through history. The last plaque in the series, with hands and fore arms linked, signifies unity and working together and the Spire symbolises strength, the light which shines upward through the spire shows the way to the future.

The Gallery is housed within two unique heritage buildings, the old School of Arts building built in 1906, and Butler Hall, built in 1909. The buildings were combined in 1995 to accommodate a fast-growing Art Gallery. Aunt Elizabeth Connors mural was commissioned by the Inverell Shire Council I 2021. Aunt Elizabeth was a family matriarch and instrumental in forging strong relationships with many groups in the community especially those devoted to reconciliation. Artist Claire Foxton was inspired by the granite rock formations for the background and endemic species incorporated into Aunt Elizabeth’s dress. The "Meandering Macintyre" footpath mosaic is located outside the Art Gallery. The mosaic was constructed on 90 x 120-centimetre panels joined to form a 94-metre-long path, which depicts native Australian wildflower, indigenous birds, insects, fish, animals, and reptiles, and represents the flow of the Macintyre River, which flows through Inverell. The Inverell Art Gallery’s major exhibition The Inverell Art Prize, a competitive exhibition, is held in October each year with the Contemporary Art Exhibition, a curated exhibition, held in May. The Inverell Photography Exhibition is held biannually.

Dive or drive to discover the shipwrecks of the Investigator Strait Shipwreck Trail on the beautiful Yorke Peninsula. Start at Edithburgh and follow the trail of interpretive signs around the coast to Innes National Park. Enjoy the rugged coastline, cliffs and sandy beaches. The wrecks are home to many fish and sea creatures. Some of these are found nowhere else in the world. The sites are suitable for both experienced and novice divers. Captain Mathew Flinders named the Strait in 1802 after his ship HMS Investigator. He was on a voyage to map the southern coasts, braving many hardships and dangers. From 1849 to 1982, 26 vessels were wrecked in these rough seas, and more than 70 sailors lost their lives. The S.S. Clan Ranald forms part of this trail and is the only turret ship to be lost in Australian waters. The hull lies upside down and makes an impressive sight. It has been declared an historic shipwreck under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. You can also visit the graveyard of the sailors. You can download more details from the website including a map.
