We headed north towards Qld via the New England Highway (A15). After leaving the Sydney surrounds, we stopped overnight on Lake Liddell which is man made lake just south of Muswellbrook. The lake was built for cooling the decommissioned Liddell Power Station and also nearby Bayswater Power Station.
Lake Liddell is a low cost ($8 per person per night - unpowered) campground. You can also opt for a powered site - we went unpowered.

Since a week or so ago, I've been eager to see and capture the comet visible in the early evening western sky but so far nothing but cloudy skies. I shall keep trying. Lake Liddell proved to be no different.
Onwards from there, we chose to stay a couple of nights in Tamworth.
We did the tourist thing checking out the sights of Tamworth. We visited the Information Centre which is the site of the Country Music and Guitar Museum.

To celebrate our 42nd Anniversary, we went for a delicious lunch at the 'Courthouse Hotel', a popular spot for the locals - so that's always a good measure of what to expect.
