Camp Kitchen and Chill Out Room - The camp site will have its own kitchen where we prepare breakfast and dinner from Thursday morning until Sunday morning. Wednesday night dinner is hosted by your tour leaders at a local venue. Sunday night dinner is at your own cost during the trip back to Brisbane/Gold Coast.

Our Chill Out Room marquee is a place to relax between gigs and utilised at mealtimes. 

There are no campfires allowed on site. The weather is usually too hot for fires anyway.  After dinner we usually head out to a new venue to watch further concerts, or you can relax in the Chill Out Room.

We camp in the middle of town - therefore we are central to all the entertainment and located near the shuttles that transport you to and from the music venues. We offer a shuttle service throughout the event but if for any reason you want to get back to camp on your own you can use the event shuttle service to our campsite. 

MEALS: We supply breakfast and dinner each day in camp. We cook great food and can cater to most dietary needs. Lunch is not provided.  We recommend guests support the local vendors and the community by purchasing lunch each day or bring your own snack like lunches. Lunch purchase can be made from supermarkets, cafes and restaurants in Tamworth and gives you the opportunity to choose a meal of your own liking.

Water – natural spring water will be supplied for drinking throughout the whole trip.

Drinks of a personal nature – you are welcome to bring along your own beverages. You can store cold drinks in our drink’s fridge (you may need to label your items).  Please note: no personal food can be stored in the communal drink’s fridge or in the tour esky.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING IN TAMWORTH?

Listening to Country Music, exploring the many walk up venues, and attending ticketed events (ticketed events additional cost). Drinking, eating good food, talking, wearing our cowboy hats and boots. Enjoying camp festival life.

There is plenty of free entertainment all 5 days however if you are a fan of specific performers, we recommend that you attend one or two ticketed events during the five days. It is recommended to book these in advance to ensure availability. We will transport you in the shuttle to your paid events. 

For popular performers we suggest booking early.  Winner of the Golden Guitar Album and Song of the Year last year was Casey Barnes.  If you like Country Rock, we recommend Casey Barnes. He’s playing on the Wednesday night at the Longyard. There are many other big artists also preforming such as: Lee Kernagan, John Williamson, Kasey Chambers, The Wolfe Brothers, Troy Caser-Daley, Becky Cole, Amber Lawrence etc. Tickets for these events are not included in our trip cost. This gives everyone flexibility to choose what performance you would like to see. Please note that tickets are on sale now and may sell out. Book now! No need to check with us first before booking as long as the performance is in Tamworth during our trip - we will get you there.

Each day we have a set program of locations and performances for the whole group to attend and then people break off the group activities for a while if they are booked in to watch a ticketed concert. In the past this flexibility has worked well.

There is plenty of free entertainment all around the town at pubs and venues, you do not need to attend a ticketed event.

There is also the cavalcade down the main street on Saturday and several popular landmarks to visit like the Hands of Fame and the giant Golden Guitar. 

The whole 5 days we are there it is action packed.
