Port Macquarie NSW 2444
Major Archibald Clunes Innes was a man with a vision - unfortunately he got it wrong. Innes thought Port Macquarie would become the gateway to the coast surrounding Hastings River and the New England region.
He built an enormous house complex with convict labour, but with the depression of the 1840s he was ruined. The house decayed into the imposing ruins it is today. Archaeological excavations have been carried out at the house to find out more about Innes and his plans.
You can learn more about him and the archaeology on a tour run by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Contact the Greater Port Macquarie Visitor Information Centre for more information.
