Introducing Armidale
The New England regional centre of Armidale is famous for its spectacular autumn foliage and heritage buildings. It is a university town, but even the hundreds of virile students don’t seem to soften the pensive mood here. SAD (seasonal affective disorder) or not, the town’s history and culture shine through, courtesy of museums, markets and bewitching surrounds.
