Nature around Tamworth
Surrounding country towns, such as Nundle and Kootingal, are charming and Lake Keepit, not too far away, is great for camping and fishing for golden perch.
About Tamworth
The country music capital of Australia is 420 km west of Sydney. Tamworth is a welcoming country city and flourishing commercial centre for the region. It hosts one of the world's biggest events, the annual ten-day Country Music Festival. At any time of the year, you can walk the Heritage Trail and uncover Tamworth's historic buildings or boot-scoot through the Hands of Fame Park, which contains the handprints of about 200 country music stars. The mighty 12-metre-high Golden Guitar in town is a highlight for most visitors. Check out the memorabilia at the Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre.
Don't miss the National Professional Rodeo in January and Hats Off to Country Festival in July.
