Tamworth, Cobar, the road to Tilpa

Tamworth Firearms

We arrived into Tamworth from the east. The ranges develop into a deep valley that is the headwaters of the Wren River. The Wren runs through Tamworth & is known to supply the famed Murray Cod that can grow to 100kgs. Other species are silver perch, goldenPerch (referred to as ‘yellow belly’ by the locals & bass.

Whilst here there was a really belter of a downpour so after a snack at a nearby cafe we took refuge at the local gunstore. The staff here were great and the boys had a great time playing with ammo belts & other goodies.

Cobar

A mining town & nothing more. The townsfolk were again friendly. We took on fresh provisions, stayed a night a headed further west
