Stonehenge Down Under

December 1, 2016 -- They're not as old or big as Stonehenge, but Australia has its own standing stones. They are located in the Glen Innes Highlands. Created in 1991/92, they celebrate the Celtic nations whose descendants came to Australia. The stone circle is unique in the southern hemisphere. 

Each of the 38 megaliths stands 11.5 feet high.

A monument to Celtic people, past and present

The Celts raised stones as calendars to mark the change of seasons to help indicate when they should sow and when they should harvest. Mystery and legend surround stone circles throughout the world, including Australia's Standing Stones.
