🐴 Tenterfields most famous building would have

🐴 Tenterfields most famous building would have to be the Tenterfield Saddler 🐴

It’s a drawcard for visitors to Tenterfield and well worth a visit, with the building housing memorabilia and leather goods (as well as Peter Allens famous sparkly red dance shoes).

While Australian singer and songwriter, Peter Allen, immortalised the Tenterfield Saddler for the rest of the world, George Woolnough, who also happened to be Peter’s grandfather, was already legendary among generations of Tenterfield residents.

George purchased the saddlery on High Street in 1908, operating it until his retirement in 1960. George’s accommodating and compassionate nature saw the saddlery become a gathering place for men throughout the region. They would meet there and discuss all manner of topics while George worked and listened, undisturbed by the chatter of the men who would wander in.

Sometimes the men would bring their children, who would play with the leather offcuts while their fathers talked. Many of them are still around today and have fond memories of their visits to see George, the Tenterfield Saddler.

The saddlery was no stranger to famous faces, with iconic Australian poet and author, Banjo Patterson being a regular visitor during his time in Tenterfield in the early 1900s. George’s own grandson, Peter Allen, would also visit the saddlery to spend time with his grandfather. The words of his song, Tenterfield Saddler, pay tribute to George, his generosity of spirit, and his place in the heart of the town.

Open Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday from 9am until 12/12.30pm.

We love it when visitors share their photos and videos from their trip to Tenterfield Shire.

@owl_endless_summer tells us this is one of the best National Parks they have come across on their travels and we tend to agree!

“Put this place on your to-do list! Boonoo Boonoo NP (oddly pronounced ‘bunna bunnoo’) is one of the best national parks we have come across on all our travels. Situated between Tenterfield NSW and Stanthorpe QLD in the high country of the Great Dividing Range this park ticks all our boxes. Good camp ground, great views, swimming and good walks. We hiked the River Trail to the waterfall (15ks return walk to camp) and were rewarded with top swimming holes and we even saw a few platypus in the lake near our camp. Bald Rock NP is also in the area which showcases a huge granite monolith. Mum and dad climbed to the summit but the kids chickened out at the first sight of the incline - yes it’s steep! In all, this is a fantastic region and we highly recommend visiting and camping here. Two thumbs up from us 👍 👍”

💦 Looking for somewhere to cool off and something to do this long weekend? Check out Undercliffe Falls just outside the town of Liston💦

📍 Undercliffe Falls is located on the Bookookoorara Creek east of Liston. The falls descend 150m, over a 30m wide rock face into a deep pool ideal for swimming in summer. Follow the walking trail through eucalypt trees, across Bookookoorara Creek to Bookookoorara State Forest returning as a circuit back to the creek and falls.

Good walking shoes are recommended for the steep walk down to the bottom of the falls. Undercliffe Falls has no facilities, tracks are not signposted and there is limited mobile reception.
Use caution when using this walking track. 💦

🐴 Be sure to visit the Cobb & Co museum at Liston while you are there and drop into the Liston Tea House for a refreshing drink and cakes.

💦 The most impressive (and tallest) waterfall in Tenterfield Shire would have to be Boonoo Boonoo Falls 💦

@reubennutt captured the pure beauty of these falls in all their glory from the bottom to the top.

📍 Boonoo Boonoo National Park - A 35min drive from Tenterfield town centre is a beautiful national park for walks, swimming, birdwatching & wildlife spotting.
A short walk from the carpark and you will find yourself at one of New England High Country’s best swimming holes and then to the top of Boonoo Boonoo falls - a 210m waterfall which drops into the valley below.

🥾 There are a number of different walks here including the 6km River Walk, which follows the Boonoo Boonoo river and connects the Cypress-pine campground with Boonoo Boonoo Falls, swimming hole and picnic area.

📄 Make sure you obtain a NSWNP permit to fly your drone in National Parks in New South Wales.

While we know it's currently the middle of Summer here in Tenterfield, there is no better time to start planning your trip to Tenterfield for this coming Autumn, which is only a few months away. Tenterfield has 4 very distinct seasons and Autumn would have to one of the prettiest and most popular.

Tenterfield Shire is one of the best locations in Australia to view the Autumn colours - with the streets and parks lined with trees covered in Autumn leaves, the town comes alive with colour, with shades of reds, yellows, golds and oranges. We are lucky enough to have many roads in the shire lined with rows of trees on either side, which makes for some pretty spectacular scenes and photography.

This photo was taken by the talented @swaller4 earlier this year on his visit to Tenterfield during Autumn.

Start planing your visit and stay in one of the many accommodation providers - from hotels, motels, airbnbs, unique stays, camp grounds & caravan parks, eat & drink at our local cafes, restaurants bars, pubs, restaurants and hotels and shop at the many unique local retail stores.
