2019-10 Tour of New England Tenterfield and Environs
Tour of New England: Tenterfield and Environs. Our tour included two nights in the drought and bushfire ravaged town of Tenterfield. We visited the Railway Museum, the School of Arts (with its fabulous Henry Parkes and Breaker Morant exhibitions), The Tenterfield Saddler, Centenary Cottage and Wallangarra (with its historic change of gauge railway station). We 'passed around the hat' and raised an impressive $700 for the local drought and bushfire appeal.
