Nature getaways around Tamworth

There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy across the Tamworth region from nature parks to bird sanctuaries and national parks.

Visit Tamworth's Marsupial Park to see kangaroos, wallabies, possums, emus and echidnas, or enjoy a picnic in the pretty Botanic Gardens.

Check out the panoramic views of the Tamworth slopes and plains from the Oxley Lookout where you can go for a bushwalk along one of the many walking trails.

Quirindi, south of Tamworth, is known for its fields of sunflowers that bloom from December to March. Quipolly Dam, 18 km north-east, is a flora and fauna sanctuary well worth visiting to see plentiful waterbirds.

Explore on foot Warrabah National Park or go bushwalking bushwalking through remnant rainforest in Mount Kaputar National Park.
