Halal Explorer to Tamworth Tamworth (population 56,000 in c.2007) is a city in the New England (New South Wales)|New England region in New South Wales, Australia. AELEC - Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre

Tamworth (New South Wales) Halal Travel Guide

Tamworth is nationally famous as the "Country Music Capital of Australia", annually hosting the Tamworth Country Music Festival in late January. The city is recognised as the "National Equine Capital of Australia" because of the high volume of equine events held in the city and the construction of the world class Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC). The city additionally is known as the "City of Lights", being the first place in the Southern Hemisphere to utilise electric street lights.

Tamworth itself is a well developed and confident regional centre. It has a great location by the side of the Peel River, that has playgrounds, coffee shops and parks. Peel Street itself is the main shopping strip, running parallel to the river.

Travel to Tamworth (New South Wales)

You can fly, drive yourself, catch a train from Sydney or Armidale, and catch a connecting coach in from a few surrounding towns. The days of coaches plying the inland route between Sydney and Brisbane are gone, with all such services now travelling the coastal Pacific Highway route to Brisbane.

By car

The New England Highway runs inland between Sydney and Brisbane via Tamworth. The road is mainly good quality, single carriageway - with regular overtaking lanes.

It will take around 5 hours to drive from Sydney - with no breaks. Effectively a full day's drive. There are a variety of inland routes if you are coming from Melbourne, but by the time you pass Canberra and the quickest route will be via Sydney.


By Rail

NSW Trainlink trains connect Tamworth to Armidale and Sydney daily. A connecting bus travels along the old branch line to Inverell before each train departure and after each arrival. Tickets must be booked before boarding.

Peel Street is less than 5 minutes walk downhill from the station.

By Plane

  • Tamworth Airport IATA Code: TMW - 31.083889, 150.849444 - Tamworth Airport sizeable airport for a regional town. It has a nice air-conditioned terminal, with a cafe and ATM. It has vehicle hire and taxis available to meet flights. For Qantas-Australia club members there is a flight lounge in the terminal. Qantas-Australia runs regular services between Sydney, up to six flights a day on weekdays. Virgin Australia also fly to Tamworth from Sydney. Jetgo also have flights direct to Brisbane daily.

The airport itself is around 10km from town. Too far to walk. There is cycleway nearly all the way to the terminal.

Get Around

The main mall along Peel Street can be walked on foot in about twenty minutes. The nice parks between the mall and the Peel River have pedestrian and cycle paths running through them. For anywhere else in the city, a vehicle is definitely recommended.

A couple of bus companies run services through Tamworth on weekdays.

During the Country Music Festival in January there are special bus services which do various circuits of the city.
