Where We Are
Tamworth is located in North West NSW, at the junction of the New England and Oxley Highways, an easy five hour drive from Sydney and six from Brisbane. It’s ideally situated on the main inland track from Victoria to Queensland. There’s up to five daily return flights between Sydney and Tamworth and one from Brisbane, along with daily train and bus services.
Climate
We’ve got great weather – fine and mild mostly, with average summer maximums around 31C and winters 16C. We generally hit lows of 16C in summer and 3C in winter. Most of our rain comes in summer too, so it’s a place for plenty of outdoors pursuits. We generally get about 650mm (26 inches) a year, we have low humidity and we’re 404 metres above sea level.
Environment
Outdoors there’s wide open spaces, with some steep slopes coming off the New England Ranges of the Great Dividing Range about 30km north. There’re fertile floodplains where the Peel and Cockburn Rivers pass the city and undulating land to the west. Our surrounding towns and villages are picture postcard perfect, radiating charm and history under clear blue skies.
Indoors the Tamworth region offers cultural activities with art galleries, a Conservatorium of Music, museums and libraries. There are more than 60 places to stay, from five star hotels to apartments, units, bed and breakfasts, farmstays, and caravan parks and camping grounds. In education we’re top class – with some 35 schools and Open Learning, TAFE and university campuses.
