Tamworth was attained about 12:30 Thursday before Easter, we dropped off the van at what seemed to be a pleasant C/park and set off to buy Easter supplies, informative leaflet from our hosts listed local services.
Easter was quiet and pleasant, fish supplies were limited this far inland but we managed.
On Saturday we shopped for more stuff, went to Oxley lookout, took photos and enjoyed a 270deg view of Tamworth which highlighted that it was a beautiful town, with lots of trees.
Sunday we went to nearby Nundle where there was an Easter Festival - celebrating the year of the rabbit and which highlighted the significant role Chinese Miners and Storekeepers played on the goldfields. There was a vast range of stalls and entertainment and the Nundle Woolmill which demonstrated how the wool went from the sheep clip through to dying skeins.
Chaffey Dam was on our way home, it is very large and the locals flock to it for fishing and water skiing.
We spent another couple of days at this pleasant location, during which we had a visit from David and Helen, breaking their journey to Brisbane and tomorrow we expect to mosey on.
