We have a bus leaving Perth for Tamworth Saturday 10th January 2009 for 22 amazing days.

The 2009 Tamworth Country Music Festival has its Official Opening on Friday 16th January 2009 and you can be there!

The Golden Guitar Awards are on Sunday 25th January 2009 and you can be there!

The closing ceremony is on Monday 26th January and you can be there!

You can be there for the full 10 day Festival.

The 2009 festival is Tamworth’s 37th and if it’s going to be anything like the 2008 festival – then you should be there. The Tamworth Country Music Festival is widely recognised as one of the top events on the world's country music calendar and has grown to become one of Australia's greatest events. The unique atmosphere offers a distinctive blend of contemporary and traditional country music, with many shows offering free admission.

From the moment the Mayor declares "let the fun and the music commence" during the Official Opening Ceremony and Concert of the Tamworth Country Music Festival, until the flag is lowered at the Closing Ceremony you will be experiencing the entire spectrum of Bush Ballads, Bluegrass, Bush Poetry, Country Rock and Retro, Line Dancing and Bush Dancing, Contemporary, Acoustic, A grade Musicians "Jamming" etc

The festival offers over 2000 events staged in over 100 different venues. These venues range from a selection of clubs, pubs, church halls, shopping centres and on the streets. The entertainment presented will range from listening to buskers as they entertain in the CBD area or taking your seat in the 5,000 capacity Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre.

The Tamworth Country Music Festival is the largest country music festival in the Southern Hemisphere and attracts the 'who's who' of country music.

While the Tamworth Country Music Festival hosts a stellar group of contemporary artists at its major venues the traditionalists are never forgotten. In fact the elements which make up the festival allow no one to be overlooked. Many visitors do not even go as country music lovers. They go to be a part of the colour they have seen on their televisions, read in print or tuned into on radios. More often than not they leave as converted fans.

Tamworth, best known as Australia's country music capital - is a sophisticated regional city surrounded by thriving agricultural properties and home to around 50,000 residents. This swells by another 50,000 visitors who make this a truly friendly festival.

Tamworth Crowd

Some of the crowd at the Tamworth Country Music Festival

Tamworth is internationally acclaimed, having won the major accolade in being named as one of the World’s top 10 festivals.

Talent Quests are everywhere and you can spend a lot of money visiting all shows or spend very little because a lot of the shows are free. With a fold up chair as your main accessory (we provide you a chair as part of your tour) join the thousands of visitors who stroll comfortably from free concert to free concert totally absorbed in the special atmosphere that is the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Perhaps purchase a ticket for one of your favourite artists or simply board a festival Shuttle and criss-cross the city discovering what the wonderful venues have to offer. The decision is all yours!

    We will take you there and back in a full air-conditioned bus Bus Features. We will provide all meals (yes 3 meals a day), (Camping Trailer Features) We will provide all camping equipment. Yes, camping. Not too sure about camping? We have superior quality tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, and a range of pillows. Believe me it is very comfortable. Crikey, you do not even have to manually pump up your mattress, we have electronic pumps.

    Seeing as how we are travelling across the Nullarbor you will experience this unique experience. (Have you ever travelled across the Nullarbor? Ever wanted to?)

    We will also make a detour to the Flinders Rangers National Park. From here we will take a 2 hour walk for spectacular views inside Wilpena Pound. (This is optional for you. It is about 6km and it will be hot at this time of the year.

    Leave the car and caravan home this year and let us do the drivng, the catering, the organising, the purchase of fuel etc, travel in safety (after all I do have a "black belt in macrame") with other country music lovers. Part of the fun of this type of tour is the friendship and enjoyment of travelling with like minded people.
