NEW ENGLAND NORTH WEST, TORRINGTON, NEW SOUTH WALES

Granite country north of Glen Innes, where tors and slabs rise out of dry heath and woodland thick with boronia, grevillea and native mint-bush in spring. The Mystery Face walking track climbs past the biggest of the granite formations, and the reserve is one of NSW's noted fossicking grounds — its pegmatites have yielded fine emerald, topaz, beryl and quartz, with a creek near the Blatherarm campground a favourite spot to try your luck. The park is open year-round, closing only for fire or poor weather.
