We left Bluey in the Bushtracker for the first time this trip, as we were going to be in and out of shops. He was a bit crazy when we arrived home!
There are several large historic buildings along a major thoroughfare in Tamworth – Marius St. We walked past several grand buildings. The Catholic Church, Saint Nicholas, is on a large block surrounded by an impressive brick fence.
One building behind this fence is now used as the conservatorium of music. Several other buildings along Marius St are well preserved. My favourite is the Art Deco hotel opposite the railway station which is now used as a day spa. The doorway is impressive with stained glass windows.
We had breakfast at the Deco Cafe on Peel St, sitting inside the restaurant as we were dogless. The Goldfish Bowl sourdough bread was delicious. It is made in Armidale so we will be able to buy some on our trip home.
We have has a few days of cool weather, an amazing contrast to the 44°C days we experienced when we were here for the TCMF a couple of years ago. Last night the minimum temperature was 13.5°C and we had wind gusts up to 60kph. At least the mud is drying up.
Tilly spent time outdoors with me, and I have been taking her for fast walks around the park to tire her out. When she came in this evening she put herself in the crate and covered herself with the blanket. Earlier in the day she was trying to get in the driver’s door of the motorhome.
