:iconnikki6teenplz:: Wednesday, July 31st - Mostly sunny today. Good day to take in a roadtrip!

Today, we went up to Tamworth, a revisit for Jonesy and me. If you remember when the two of us first visited Tamworth:
Tamworth, located straddling the Peel River in New South Wales' New England region, is among other things nationally famous as the "Country Music Capital of Australia", annually hosting the Tamworth Country Music Festival in late January, the second biggest country music festival in the world. It features thousands of Australian and international country music artists performing live shows 24 hours a day. Each year an estimated 100,000 people pass through Tamworth for the festival with around 70,000 staying for a substantial duration of the festival, with camping along the banks of the Peel River.

The 10-day festival culminates in the Golden Guitar Awards, the most prestigious award that an Australian Country Music artist can win for their music. In honour of its country music Tamworth is home to the "Big Golden Guitar", the wax museum and the hands of fame park of successful country music artists.

[...], Jonesy was really impressed with the size and grandeur of that big guitar!

This time around, even though Wyatt is not much of a country music fan, he too was really impressed with that big guitar!

:iconwyatt6teenplz:: I'll say! Man, this classic axe is hard to miss!

:iconjonesy6teenplz:: Though you gotta admit, it's kinda hard to play once you're up close to it....! ;p

A what-if postcard and journal entry from two 2½th-year university students Jonesy and Nikki, along with the rest of the gang, exploring the Land Down Under.

:sherlock:UPDATE: Full details about the Big Golden Guitar (and the adjacent Tourist Centre) can be found HERE.

It's unfortunate that Tamworth is big into country. That's not exactly Wyatt's favorite type of music.
