📷: From @what.susie.saw during a recent visit to Tenterfield:

"It was a delight to discover this great new shop, open on a Sunday, as we pottered around town.⁣
⁣
I was able to buy some really special gifts, handcrafted locally with love and care, plus a small something for me.
⁣
There’s just something so rewarding about country shopping. It’s way better than the big shopping centres, in my books, and you’ll always meet great people and find something special, especially in Tenterfield."

🧡 We couldn't agree more!

🔊 Sound on: 🌧 So nice to know Torrington has received some rain. This part of our region (like many) was badly affected by bushfires. Lovely to see some green returning.

☀️ The forecast for today (Sunday 17 Jan) is mostly sunny. For ideas on what to see and do, visit our website or the Tenterfield Visitor Information Centre.

📍 Sir Henry Parkes Memorial School of Arts Museum on Rouse Street

📷: Here's what @salinky discovered:

"Who knew Tenterfield is known as the birthplace of our nation 🇦🇺🤠 In this building in 1889 Sir Henry Parkes made his famous speech to promote free trade across borders and called for a great national government for all Australia. Ironic given most of Australia’s state borders are closed to each other right now 😆😝"
