The region
Hunting in the New England Tablelands
The New England Tablelands between Tamworth, Armidale and Glen Innes is quietly one of the best deer districts in Australia. Fallow deer are established in serious numbers through the granite belt, red deer herds are expanding year on year, and pigs and goats work the gorge country that falls away east toward the escarpment.
