22 September – Monday
Extremely hot day in Tamworth and after we both had haircuts this morning, set out to catch up on some more of Tamworth’s tourist attractions. Bicentennial Park (opened in 1988, strangely) had another display of country music, this time featuring bronze busts of some well known artists. The park also had a magnificent statue of a waler horse and a Lighthorseman. Over 40% of NSW horse population is within a radius of 130km of Tamworth, and the waler was a NSW horse. Of course, there was also the obligatory duck pond/lake. A drive up the hill to the Oxley Lookout gave us a panoramic view of the district.
The afternoon brought the promised thunderstorms – we have been receiving severe thunderstorm warnings since lunchtime and made sure the awning was secured and chairs stowed. We spent the afternoon playing cards waiting, and although it has been thundering all afternoon, there hasn’t really been a lot of rain. However, we have been told to wait, as it is coming!

I'm glad we don't have to put up with daily thunderstorms here - that must get very tiring after a while!
