LEMON TREE PASSAGE

FRIDAY 1.2.2013: The Leyland pack Nundle plan for the Tamworth Country Music Festival worked perfectly. Many thanks to Kim and Heath (Fossickers Tourist Park Managers), for helping us to minimise any problems we had and providing us with a positive park experience and to Don our bus driver (Nundle's Australia Day Citizen of the Year), for being on call all hours of the day.

TAMWORTH TIPS!

1. $7.00 Western hats from Coles - looked authentic enough to be questioned on their origin - little embarrassing having to explain!

2. Utilise cooling neck ties for both humans and puddles.

3. Purchase weekly transit bus tickets - excellent value.

4. Frequent the pubs - plenty of free entertainment, with no need for pay concerts.

5. Country Music Association Official Guide a must.

6. Water, water, water and more water - even Carole drank water!

BROKE

THURSDAY 31.1.2013: As always, we are slowly making our way back to LTP. Made our scheduled return visit to Willow Tree Inn - home of the "Best Pub Steak in NSW 2012". Surprisingly we ordered steak and it was to die for. Cooked to perfection, with the knife just gliding through - could have eaten the entire cow! It has been a long time since we enjoyed a steak as much as we did, absolutely beautiful, plus add to that a lovely vista. All at downtown Willow Tree, population 169.

Stopped at a few more "Old Wares" shops on our way down, then spent the night at Broke Freedom Camp.
