DSC_0656.JPG=Inspired by the Ring of Brodgar in Scotland’s Orkneys. The Australian Standing Stones began as an ambitious project by a small, dedicated group of citizens who wanted to mark Glen Innes’ Celtic heritage.It was in Australia’s 1988 Bicentenary Year that the Celtic Council of Australia developed the idea of erecting a national monument to honour all Celtic peoples who helped pioneer Australia. Australian Standing Stones were officially opened on February 1, 1992.
