Manilla, Barraba NSW

Manilla NSW is not far north of Tamworth.  Last year we called into Manilla and did the same this year.
The old Bank which is not used as a bank anymore. The clock is gone!
About 2,550 people live in Manilla so it's said and it's a good place for hang gliding and paragliding along with ultra light aircraft.  There are a few big hills or mountains nearby.
There is a river called Manilla River but we didn't see it, I believe it will flood if enough rain.
The old rail bridges are Heritage listed.

On the way to Barraba NSW it's very obvious there is a drought.

The lady came to feed her animal she had fodder in a blue bag.

Tamworth to Manilla NSW

Tamworth NSW photos of our last visit last year when we stayed there.
This year in our winter we didn't stay but moved on but not before we called into the supermarket and stocked up on a few food items.
It was pleasing to see Salmon from home being sold as I've never seen it packed like in the photo below here in Tasmania.

Heading towards Manilla at a place called Attunga NSW we really noticed how dry the land was, sheep on the long paddock once again.  This photo was taken from the moving vehicle and we can see the foreground is blurred and just how dry it is.

A few photos of Manilla NSW which has about 2,550 people.  The rural town was settled in the 1850's.  Manilla is 45 kms northwest of Tamworth.  Manilla is known for it's setting as a fishing and paragliding area.
