We stayed in Tamworth for a few nights which is north of Sandy Hollow. During our stay we went up a hill and took photos of the view of Tamworth.
The first photo is of the town clock.
Tamworth is a lovely city and now that the Peel River is controllable when in flood you no longer get stuck like in the 1950's on one side or the other. It certainly didn't help the blood pressure of my Dad!!!
I thought I read somewhere recently that Migrants/refugees were moving into Tamworth and I was right: Here a new update and I am sure the migrant working population from professionals to labourers is very welcome. "TAMWORTH is building on its reputation as a regional hub for migrants seeking citizenship.
This week, 16 new Australians were sworn-in at a ceremony in the city from places including Brazil, Sri Lanka, China and Bangladesh. Many of whom came to the country with little English and no family support."
Why they would want to live in overcrowded cities like Sydney or Melbourne is beyond me......might as well have stuck it out in Dacca, Rio, Colombo or Beijing! Great photos of the area. Colin
It is a big place, bigger than it looks. Tammy Wynette, gosh we are going back a way now - not that fond of country music myself but some of it is ok...just some of it.
We had a wonderful trip. The colours are lovely there in winter. Don't think the fires were close to Tamworth but smoke and lack of water as there wasn't much water left for the place when we were there..
Nice photos

Thank you, I too love the clock and it's building.
DeleteNice looking town. Lots of greenery too.
ReplyDeleteLovely clean town and good to be able to walk down the street.
DeleteThey are short of water for the folk I believe, unless they have had enough rain..

Let's hope the migrants stay in the Tamworth area, expect some will instead of moving to the bigger cities.

DeleteIt's a surprisingly large town. I am thinking of Tammy Wynette for some reason. I don't like country music much, nor western.
