Tamworth is quite a nice area with plains on one side and the New England hills to the east.
It's a fairly typical Australian medium to large country town with rail links to Sydney and Brisbane.
Also the location for the biggest country music festival outside the USA .
It has a fair selection of shopping mainly in a pleasant tree lined town centre.
It can be very hot in the summer months temps often in the 40's.
I have family who live not far away and quite a few friends that live in and around the area they all seem to like it.Hope this helps .
