Guyra

Guyra is a small town, located on the New England Hwy between Armidale and Glen Innes. The town is renowned for having the highest railway station (in terms of elevation - 1320m) in Australia and is aboriginal for "fish may be caught". Not much else to note on - the main street is quite ugly, however the town entrance from the south is nice with the highway lined with a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees.
