The name derives from the name of Mr. MacIntyre's estate. The word is of Gaelic origin, and signifies "The meeting of the swans"; from "Inver a meeting place, and "Ell", a swan. The MacIntyre River and Swanbrook Creek join here. The Inverell district is in an agricultural region, and there are also some minor mining activities. Inverell is known for its Sapphire s, contributing to the majority of Australia's sapphire production. Copeton Dam , the district's main water supply, holds three times the capacity of Sydney Harbour , and is so large that when it is below 3% of its capacity during drought, it still has enough water to supply the town for up to ten years without Water Restrictions . The Inland Fishing Festival is held there every year. REFERENCES |
