Tamworth Destination-Information Listings
New England North West
Whatever the season you'll find something to delight you in New England North West.
Come here to enjoy the cool summers in the tablelands, the glorious colours of autumn, romantic fireside dinners in winter or the clear, fresh air in spring. You won't be disappointed.
Visit Tamworth or venture further afield to Moree, Narrabri and other farming centres - each has its own appeal.
Away from the bigger centres, there are National Parks and wide stretches of farmland to explore. There are also excellent fishing and fossicking opportunities throughout the region.
But wherever you go, rest assured a warm country welcome awaits you. Choose from farm stays, cabins or comfortable motels. Farm stays provide a complete family holiday, with a chance to ride horses, meet the animals or help with farm chores.
For a holiday that can expand your horizons, look no further.
