WEDS 15th
Check out 10am, it’s off to Mudgee. A scenic 2 hour drive through some gorgeous country. Check in at the Mudgee Showground and pay for two nights accomodation. We’ve got nothing planned until 6pm that night, where we’ll all meet at Club Mudgee for a three hour Australiana concert with Matt Scullion supported by Rock n Russ. Club Mudgee is a licensed venue with a restaurant and we’d definitely encourage you to support this local establishment.
THURS 16th
The days is your to explore or just kick back and relax. Mudgee is one of our most celebrated wine regions and has dozens of tours to choose from. Shaz will also have an optional op shop tour for those interested and I will be doing the heritage walk tour for those who would like to tag a long.

Check out 9am and hit the road for the Tamworth Country Music Festival. It’s about a 4 hour drive and we’ll be stopping along the way at Quirindi to marvel at the Silo Art and have an early lunch.

SAT 18th
The day is yours to head in to the Tamworth Country Music Festival which is about a 45 min leisurely drive from Nundle. The Tamworth CMF is one of Australia’s biggest music festivals and hosts hundreds of shows over a 10 day period. I would suggest getting hold of the offical guide and pre plan what shows you would like to see. Or you could just play it by beer and check out the many free shows and buskers along Peel St.
SUN 19th
The morning is yours to do as you please. At 2pm I’ll be performing my three hour Australiana show with Rock n Russ at the Peel Inn located in the main st of Nundle. It’s a beautiful old historic pub with a very tasty lunch menu, again we’d encourage you to support this local establishment. After that the night is yours.
MON 20th
Complimentary pancake breakfast followed by goodbyes, check out by 10am. Unless you’d like to stay longer ?? If so you’ll have to pre arrange that with the park when booking your sites.
