CENTRAL WEST NSW & NEW ENGLAND AREA

 
What a wonderful week or so we have had since moving on from Trangie. The cotton and grain fields(which we neglected to take photos) were amazing. Passing through Warren, Gilgandra, Coonabarabran to Gunnedah. Gunnedah was a really nice country town and we decided to stay for 4 days (football reception was good too). After leaving Gunnedah we headed to the New England Area of NSW through the country music capital of Tamworth(forgot the camera, missed photo opportunity with Slim Dusty, forgot phone camera as well) to Armidale and further on via Guyra, Glen Innes and Tenterfield. Freezing mornings & nights but the days have been crystal clear. We have come in on the tail end but the autumn colours are spectacular. Currently stopped in Tenterfield at the showgrounds. Ashton's Circus is playing 50 metres from the Chookpen.
