Tamworth Sights

  1. Australian Country Music Foundation

    Tassel phobes should skip the Australian Country Music Foundation; it's not much of a display, really. Ditch the curator and it should take as little as five minutes to see in its entirety, though it all depends on your level of interest of course.

  2. Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre

    The Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre has a café and souvenir shop where you can stock up on 'golden guitar' jewellery, stationery, clothing and snow cones. And when you have finished stocking up check out the Wax Museum. It must be alright being a country music star, just look at the smiles plastered across their chops.

  3. Calala Cottage

    Calala Cottage is where you may get a hand-held tour but gee it's informative. The slab hut, coach house and blacksmiths were all built just before the Manor in 1875. Coffee freaks will love the old wrought-iron coffee-grinder.

  5. Motorcycle Museum

    Containing three million bucks worth of bikes, Motorcycle Museum memorabilia has been collected by none other than the owner of the Quality Powerhouse Hotel next door. Three cheers for capitalism. There's not much floor space left, not even for the humble Norton 500.

  7. Oxley Marsupial Park

    And you thought this town was just guitars and mullets. Oxley Marsupial Park has overly friendly cockatoos and other native animals at this council-run park at the end of Endeavour Drive, the northern continuation of Brisbane St.

  8. Oxley Scenic Lookout

    Grab a bottle of wine, the one you love (anyone will do), and follow Jacaranda-lined White St to the very top where you'll reach Oxley Scenic Lookout. This is the best seat in the house as the sun goes down over Tamworth and the surrounding Liverpool Ranges.
