Tamworth - Wednesday 3 July 2019
It's been quite a while since we actually stopped in Tamworth - we go through it every time we go to Andrew's but it was 2012 the last time we actually stopped to look at anything in Tamworth.My most pressing priority - now that we are in a decent sized city - was to get my nails done. so we headed into town just after 9am for me to get that done before Neill and Jude came to join us. The second nail salon I tried could do me straight away so I was in and out within the hour, and ready for elevenses. Neill and Jude came in and we went to a bakery in the main street which was pretty good. Then it was off to the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame. The static displays were a little ordinary but the new "Walk a Country Mile" with memorabillia and videos of each era of country music in Australia was excellent. We took our time going through that and quite enjoyed it.
Then it was lumchtime, so TripAdvisor again steered us towards a cafe. We thought we had a dud when the service was not great and then menu was not clear but then the food came and it was amazing!
Neill and Jude then headed to the Golden Guitar but we have done that so we visited a few of the shops in the main street. Greg took a seat with Smokey Dawson, the founder of Australian country music.
We had to get a gas bottle filled so we headed back to the caravan park and sorted that before settling back into the sun with a cup of tea and our books. As the sun sank, we lit the fire as the breeze was a bit cool and we needed the warmth. The wind dropped at sunset so we enjoyed nibbles in front of the fire while a roast lamb cooked in the weber. Jude's dinner was excellent and we enjoyed it while playing a range of country music artists through our caravan external speakers - artists who Neill hadn't heard off but had learnt abut today. A good day and night.
