Our first Farm Stay, just outside of Tamworth called Hillside Farmstay at Sunrise Cutting Horse. We are basing ourselves here so that we can spend a whole day in Tamworth.
We arrived during the heat of a 39c day. Mark, the caretaker, met us with suggestions where to camp. We set up camp on, as the name suggests, the side of a hill. First time using the bottle jack to raise the “A” frame so the jockey wheel could be repositioned to level the van. No power or water to the van but tank water, shower and toilets are available.
I experimented with the drone when it cooled down to get it to creat a video automatically. I selected the starting position, identified the subject and pressed start. What do you think of the result?
The owner, Dawn took us for a drive around the property and the views are amazing from the top of the hill.
The following day we went went sight seeing and saw the Big Golden Guitar at the Visitor’s Information Centre and the Big Horse at the Stockman’s Motel.
We the went to the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC) to look at the largest Performance Horse Sale in Southern Hemisphere where they sold 8,250 horses over a week.
We then went into Tamworth City Centre to look at some of the Bronze statues in Peel St and get some lunch. On the way back to the farm we had a look in the Country Music Hall of Fame which was very quiet. Their busy time was last month when they music festival was on.
